The same... because they'd all be endangered and just chillin' in zoos.

Side: Good,but dangerous

Definitely true. There aren't many places in the world today that could support the larger herbivores, much less the larger carnivores.

Unless we're talking an alternate history type of deal. I expect we'd see a bit more unity among human society and a generally lower level of scientific knowledge and technology; we'd most likely have remained nomadic hunter gatherers for a much longer period given the dangers of remaining in one place, between territorial species and those who, inevitably, would have adapted a taste for humans over the years. Beyond just agriculture, tribes would have needed to develop some pretty heavy weaponry before they could reliably settle in one place, and that constant foe would shape the direction that science and technology took, until we reached a point where dinosaurs were a negligible threat. That process took long enough without the dinosaurs! I imagine the words for various dinosaurs would also be quite different, maybe one or two syllables long each. And I expect we'd be very different ourselves, given that we've had relatively little selective pressure on our gene pool compared to most other species for most of history- in this scenario, dinosaurs would have provided selective pressure against the earliest directly traceable ancestors of man, which simply was not present for them at all in this timeline.

I'm not an expert in this sphere, but I'd like to share my opinion. I think, in this case we should consider both sides of this debate.

The first reason is that nobody can't exactly tell what life would be like, if dinosaurs existed. But lets suppose that we managed to survive among dinosaurs. Yes, it would be good, yet dangerous as well as nowadays people face beasts in wild.On the other hand, we speak about today, well I think that people could control them, due to advanced technologies and smart brains.

The second reason is that dinosaurs were giant creatures and powerful compared to human beings.There is no doubt that human beings would be eaten, if they were not advanced as well as nowadays, for human beings are just type of species, but there were many carnivore dinosaurs. In my opinion, this case would be apocalypse.

I'd conclude that we should know approximately the time of people whether they are advanced enough, or not in order to live among dinosaurs. As I mentioned before it would be good, but dangerous, if people were advanced enough. If we were not advanced, there is no doubt that people would be eaten. So I vote for both side of this debate.

We would have to survive against the dinosaurs because they would try to eat us. It would basically be a war but against the dinosaurs. Unless however you tame a dinosaur and become allies with it.

Side: Bad and apocalyptic

We could start taming dinosaurs, and have them fight against each other and name all their cool and unique moves. We could have those go out and collect each individual dinosaur at the age of ten, call themselves, a dinosaur trainer. Have gyms set up where gym leaders battle dinosaur trainers, and if they are beaten they give the trainer a badge. If you collect all eight badges you can go to a dinosaur tournament where all the best trainers go to battle each other's dinosaurs. We can nickname them, and have a strong philosophy revolving around young kid's love between their dinosaurs and them. ;)

And we could make a cartoon show of it. We could call it Pokesaurs or Dinomons!
