XenotarisJurassic World ForumWill Homo Sapiens still thrive if Dinosaurs were still alive?

Cool Godzilla

Yeah I meant had the asteroid not ended the non-avian dinosaurs 66 Million Years Ago. I highly doubt that primates would have had the same evolutionary path as they did in our reality. Especially if dinosaur families like the dromaeosaurids had already dominated the arboreal food chain. 

I highly doubt larger and advanced primates would had evolved. It more stand to reason that sapience would evolve from the dinosaurian stock given they would be the dominate lifeforms in a similar manner that humans evolved from the mammal stock of our reality.

what xeno meant was that if the dinosaurs had survived, humans would not have even evolved in the first place

Maybe they could use the strategy that scared predators in early human times, fire. Maybe though, some dinosaurs maybe were fearless.

HinikunaGoji I think if Dinosaurs still survived, I think it will damage not only the early humans but the animals and change the outcome in the future.

Xenotaris I don't think Homo Sapiens will stop evolving, no matter what happens, it is not possible that humans will stop evolving.

In that case, if were talking about modern humans then. I believe the dinosaurs will behave like any other animal. They'll probably gain a fear of humans after a while.

well if the idea is if dinos miraculously materialized now, no dinosaur shares the niche that humans currently do

Something I forgot to mention in the article, since I assumed everyone played a Fallout game. Its a Science Fiction Role Playing Game that runs on 1950's sci-fi logic and is set after the whole world was nuked into oblivion. The games themselves take place after the Great War of 2077. The games span from 25-years to 210-years after the Great War. 

The games are about how one person can make a big difference in the wasteland. The United States of America as a civilization is gone. The survivors are trying their best to restore America to its pre-war days however there are others that wish the opposite and there are others that wish to make a better nation/civilization than the ones that came before. 

In addition to having to fight human raiders, mercenaries, and slavers. The player must face zombie-like Ghouls, green hulking Super Mutants, and genetically engineered horned bipedal reptiles called Deathclaws in addition to other mutants

Fallout 76 isn't Fallout 5 btw its a prequel game. The 76 part is reference to America's 300th birthday and a reference to the player's starter area, Vault 76.

Yes Fallout 3 is a game. Its technically the fifth game in its series. since you have Fallout (the original game), Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics, Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel, Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, Fallout 4, and Fallout 76

Homo sapiens would not even evolved since dinosaurs would already occupied those niches had they never went extinct. More than likely Troodontids would have taken the evolutionary spot in place of primates

Depends. We shouldnt be conpeting with each other's niches at all so I think direct conflict would be a huge problem.

What could be a porblem is if they upend the ecosystem. This could have devastating affects on biodiversity.

Also they could frequently target our livestock.

 

So i think they would have a harmful effect but in a subtle way.

Early Homo sapiens would probably have a hard time dealing with dinosaurs, however, it's likely that they would figure out a way to survive around them (and possibly even hunt them), like they did with the megafauna that actually coexisted with them at the time.

I can't wait to watch this series, I played the Fallout 2 demo back in the early 00s but didn't get into Fallout until Fallout 3 back in '08. Been a huge Fallout fan ever since, I even went back and beat Fallout 1, still working on beating Fallout 2 and Tactics, New Vegas, 4, and 76.

There were screenshots on twitter but were sadly removed so far we that there is a super-duper mart, the show might take place in a Vault 32 (Vaults 1-50 are found on the western half of the united states) so this might take place closer to the original Fallout locale.

XenotarisSci-Fi Fan Art / Fiction ForumFALLOUT: VAULT DWELLER [Fan Novelization of Fallout: A Post-Apocalypse Role Playing Game]

CHAPTER 0: VAULT 13

 

The old man read to his students eager to learn more about the history of the world before the war, before the vaults. His students raise their hands eager to learn more of this world. He calls out the youngster closest to him. “Yes , Ms Raka Takashima?”

 

“So who bombed America?” the half Japanese girl asked curiously.

 

“That history has been lost to us, but many theorized that it was the chinese that dropped the bombs first, any other questions?”

 

Elsewhere in the vault a handsome man with black combed back hair, about 27 years of age was in a heated discussion with his colleagues involving the current state of vault 13 affairs.

 

“I believe we should leave the vault and start living outside like the good old days,” said Albert Cole.

 

“Albert, you're going to get in trouble again with the overseer,” said a meek looking man.

 

“You know what I’m going to have a little chat with the overseer,”

 

“A little chat?” said the meek man.

 

“Negotiations are my speciality, if we were living before the war I would have been a perfect lawyer” Albert chuckles.

 

He briefly stops in front of a body length mirror, the man was wearing a light blue skin tight vault suit with golden trims on the collar and sleeves. On his back was a golden number 13, he checked on his slick hairdo before walking off to the overseer’s office.

 

A large and stout man with a square jaw and a shaved head was working in the disposal facilities on the lower levels. Maxwell “Max” stone was his name. Physically he was unrivaled in the vault but his lack of IQ made life difficult for him. However he always volunteered to do jobs that no one else wanted to do, especially if manual labor was involved. His genuine demeanor allowed him to make many friends, especially among the laborers and mechanics. He was seen talking to his two burly friends, Arnold Black and Barney Black.

 

Max was walking down a dark hallway, illuminated only by the computer terminals that monitor the subsystems down here. He looked through a small port window, the deep blue interior was filled with fresh clean water. He glances at one of the consoles. “Hmm what does this button do?” he presses a key on the terminal.

 

“Hey don’t touch that!” one of the egghead technians rushes over to the terminal. He sighs before giving Max an accusatory glare, “Max, you're lucky I got here in time. What will I tell the overseer if you shorted out the water chip!?” The technician lectures the brute.

 

 “D’oh I’m sorry, but what is da water chip?” The big man scratched the top of his head. Giving the technician a puzzled look. The technician sighs irritablely, Maxwell reminded the technician of a big dumb ape he had seen in old vids and zoology books.

 

“It's the thing that makes the water clean” the technician growls.

 

“Oh, dat is pretty neat,” Max replied.

 

A pale woman with black bob haircut poked her head around the corner. Her name was Natalia Dubrohsky, she was of russian descent which made life in the vault somewhat difficult for her family. She was the vault’s number one trouble maker, always playfully taking things from her fellow vault dwellers out of sheer boredom. She was with her friend Tanya MacMillien

 

Meanwhile at the local diner, a young man with short black hair was in the middle of fixing the vault’s Mr. Handy, but he was getting nowhere with it. He lets out a sigh before grabbing a mop. He spilt water on the diner’s checked floors before mopping the floors between the boothe seats cleaning up leftover food from the dinner’s patrons. He sighs as he sweeps up a half-eaten sweet roll. 

 

“Hey Clark, it's almost closing time” said the cook.

 

“I’m almost done,” Clark Lewison, the humble vault mechanic.

 

The lights flicker in the diner. Clark looked startled by the sudden and brief loss of illumination. The technician in the water reservoir monitors the water’s status. He quickly shuts down power to the broken water chip to prevent contamination. 

 

“Err what just happen?” Max asked.

 

“Overseer isn’t going to like this” the technician locked his computer terminal as he took the spread sheets with him.

 

Natalia gave the technician a wide berth, she looked around the corner only to see Max staring off through the window into their drinking water.

 

“Look at all dat water, it makes me thirsty,” he said to himself.

 

Cole enters the Overseer’s office. He sees an elderly man in his early sixties sitting off in his overseer chair. The overseer stares off at the monitors as he contemplates his how to carry out his various duties. He spots something on the monitor, the overseer’s face grimaces when he has the camera zoom in on the couple being surveillance. He presses a button on his chair’s console.

 

“Overseer sir,” Albert Cole makes his way to the overseer. The overseer lowers his round elevated chair back to ground level. 

 

“What is it Albert?”

 

“Are you busy, sir?”

 

“Yes, in five minutes Mr. Frank Charles Luciano will be coming through that door to explain himself”

 

A short man arrives through the door with a huge grin on his face. That grin slowly disappears as he reads the expression on the Overseer’s face. The overseer and Frank were conversing judging from the atmosphere in the room. It looked more like an angry father chewing out his daughter’s boyfriend; which incidentally it was.

 

“Sorry Albert but it seems Mr. Luciano has volunteered to clean the waste facilities as punishment for…”

 

The automated slides open as the water technician comes racing in with a spreadsheet in his hand, “Mr. Overseer, sir!”

 

“What is it, it better be an emergency” the overseer warns.

 

“It's not an emergency sir,” the water technician replied.

 

The overseer grumbles incoherently.

 

“It's a MAJOR CATASTROPHE!!!” the water technician added, “sir,”

 

“Over dramatic ass…” Albert was cut off by the overseer. “What is it?”

 

“The water chip, it's broken,” the water technician replied.

“Broken?” The Overseer asked.

 

“Broken?” Albert added.

 

“Broken?” Frank wanted to join in.

 

“Yes, broken, I estimate that we have 525 days before we run out of water”

 

The Overseer sighs, he looks over to Frank and Albert. “Albert I want you to gather some of the residence and look into finding us a new water chip”

 

“I’ll see what I can do, sir” Albert then grabs Frank by the shoulder as he escorts him out with himself.

 

“Our dream is finally coming true man, are you excited?” Frank asked Albert.

 

“Oh, you have no idea, I’m ecstatic” Albert replies, “Okay we will need some muscles, someone who can shoot good, a thief, and some wise guys”

 

“Well we already got the wise guys,” Frank points at himself and at Albert.

 

“Okay, Wiseguys check,” Albert replied.

 

Albert and Frank were at the diner secretly interviewing a select few vault dwellers who wanted to leave the vault to fix the water chip. Clark was eavesdropping on their conversation but he was called into the kitchen chamber by the cook.

 

“Okay we hired those two security meatheads Arnold and Barney Black” Albert was checking off his list,”So we got our security team”

 

“And don’t forget that one with the nice ass,”

 

“Tanya MacMillien?”

 

“Yeah” 

 

“Okay now we just need,” Albert looked up and saw a large man with a square jaw.

 

“I want to come too,” Max interrupted.

 

“I guess having one more burly guy to our list couldn’t hurt”

 

“I know someone who can also help ya with yo problem” Max added.

 

“Like who for insistence?”

 

“Me,” Natalia stepped out from behind Max.

 

“Oh the local thief,” Frank said while cringing.

 

“Well welcome aboard I guess,” Albert shook her hand.

 

“Just don’t steal our water while we're asleep,” Frank added.

 

“Can I come too,” an overly enthusiastic teenager called Ed asked.

 

“Shit, I mean sure,” Albert replied.

 

The rectangular door slides open as the vault dwellers enter a boxy room. They see a large curricular door on the other side of the room. The room is illuminated with red lights as the vault door is pushed open. A large mechanical arm grabs the back of the circular door as it pulls down the gear-like teeth in the floor. The vault is now open for the first time in 82 years. Cold air rushes into the boxy-shaped room. The vault dwellers observe their surroundings, it was a cave. 

 

From that day nobody knew what became of the first wave of brave vault dwellers. After an entire year passed with no sign of the scout party, the overseer grew worried of his scouts' progress. His engineers had exhausted all attempts to get the water purification systems back online. Overseer Jacoren glances over at one of his private terminals, OVERSEER EYES ONLY. It was time to send another outside the vault.
