Dinosaurs evolved into modern birds and some of them are extremely intelligent. The enormous sauropod dinosaurs lasted on the planet for 100 million years, despite their tiny brains. We've had 'intelligence' for just a few million years, so it's too early to say whether it is a better strategy.
Contrary to popular belief there are some Dinosaurs that would be considered really smart by modern standards. Of course the most famous ones are anything belonging to the Velociraptor family. Hoever there is one group that are even smarter than them and they are called Troodons, they are the smartest dinosaur to have ever live, with some Paleontologist even suggesting that they are smarter than a Chimp. But take into note, although the majority of Dinosaurs were dumb by our standards, back in their time they were not only successful but ironically actually one of the smartest animals in the Mesozoic. Even our mammalian ancestors would be considered as dumb as a rat by Dinosaur standards (Barring Sauropods and most herbivores, their even worse off).
The most widely accepted definition of sentience is possessing the cognitive ability to think for oneself autonomously and experience subjectivity.
However, for others, the innate ability to experience pleasure and pain defines sentience. However, this is a very loose definition, given that pleasure and pain are merely one axis of information-encoding phenomena. Therefore, cognitive autonomy and subjectivity is more accurate.
When most people speak of "dinosaurs", they are usually speaking of the birds and lizards that existed prior to the tertiary period. In such a case, we can say that dinosaurs are not sentient. The reptilian brain is not capable of the level of cognitive ability that we common define as "sentient".
Yet, if you are very loosely using the term "dinosaur" to mean anything from before the tertiary period forward, then you can say that, yes, the smaller lifeforms that evolved along the same lines as the hominids (smaller animals that would have been prey to the larger, carnivorous lizards long ago) did end up becoming humans.
yes, in fact most of the pack hunting dinosaurs try to out smart their prey by cornering it
The smartest dinosaurs, such as the Troodon or the Deinonychus, were estimated to be as smart as modern-day birds, with problem-solving abilities and some evidence of social behaviors. However, their intelligence level was not as advanced as modern mammals like apes or dolphins.
dinosaurs are not alive anymore so, apes are smarter or if dinosaurs were smart they would be alive
most small meat eaters were smart but the tyrannosaurus was also smart. little and big plant eaters were always dumb (not smart)
Well uhm,trees darling and animals around them if u were smart and went to school you would know what kinda dinosaurs ate what,like trees leaves,*(etc),,And animal you knoww :/
Raptors, specifically the Velociraptor, were believed to be highly intelligent compared to other dinosaurs. They had keen senses, advanced cognitive abilities, and hunting strategies that required coordination and planning. Their level of intelligence is estimated to be similar to some modern birds of prey.
Smart kitty: the year of dinosaurs live. i wonder if my great great grandfather was there.... what i meant is reptiles are the first animals. but im not one of 'em. because im just a smart feline.
HA! there are no genetic mutations! DINOSAURS ARE DINOSAURS! DINOSAURS ARE DINOSAURS! no mutants
They were smart creatures. They found on their own how to survive in the ancient, barren times. They are still one of the smartest animals known. They can't help it that an asteroid hit them.
