Poll: 30% of Texans believe humans and dinosaurs lived together

By Ross Ramsey

Nearly a third of Texans believe humans and dinosaurs roamed the earth at the same time and more than half disagree with the theory that humans developed from earlier species of animals according to the University of Texas/Texas Tribune Poll.


Did humans live at the same time as the dinosaurs? 30% of Texas voters agree with that statement; 41 percent disagree, and 30 percent don’t know.

Supporters of Gov. Rick Perry were more likely than any other group to believe that dinosaurs and humans roamed the earth together ten millennia ago.
