Dinosaurs (not all of which were massive), huge ferns and huge insects went extinct millions of years before humans appeared. At some point Earth’s atmosphere had more oxygen than it has now, allowing insects to grow large.

Also, there was plenty of small flora and fauna back there, just like today. And we have elephants and sequoias, so not everything is small nowadays.

Not everything was massive. There were still insects and small living organisms. It’s I think to do with evolution, the dinosaurs ancestors came out of the water before our ancestors, thus allowing them to develop on land before us.

Dinosaurs existed millions of years before the first humans. They are not comparable.

Humans today are taller thanks to better nutrition and lifestyle.

This isn’t true. Dinosaurs were extinct 60 million years before humans. Life has existed in many sizes always.

Humans have only been around for a few hundred thousand years.

Is this a goof or something?
