I have often wondered whether, had not the dinosaurs been wiped out c. 65 million years ago, they might have evolved into creatures with big-enough brains to be called human-like. Many walked on two legs, with small arms that could have developed opposable thumbs. Some of them may have had binocular vision, not unlike ours. It's interesting to speculate whether their non-mammalian brains might have developed very different kinds of symbology (language, music, art), etc, or for that matter, any at all.

The dinosaurs are still with us but with a different name...birds. Their arms became wings and they (mostly) took to the skies. Birds are evolved theropod dinosaurs (T.Rex was one too!).
