No as humans have evolved from other small mammals. Dinosaurs have evolved into some lizard and mostly birds. At some point before dinosaurs and mammals we did share an ancestor. It is important to remember that dinosaurs are defined by there hips and science has proven that many dinosaurs had feather. Birds have this hip shape and feathers but a dinosaur could never fly.

So then we are related, right?
(also lizards didn't evolve from dinosaurs btw ;p)

I should have said reptiles and a very few at that. Crocodile and alligators share the “lizard shaped” hips. These are lower to the ground herbivores. However, you are correct that dinosaurs did not evolve In lizards. Other reptiles from 65 million years ago did. Using the common term dinosaur spends many many millions of years and globally. So in a grand idea, this is why North America and South America have such a different span of organisms.
Has far as everything thing that’s related, the only sure way I that happens is to look at the first single cell organism to occurred in the deep ocean while the earth was still cooling.

You know that is a form of relation right? So, OP is right.

I see and I have heard of that. I feel at this point 3.9 billion years ago would have just been a split to have evolution head in different directions. At that point we are all related.
