Humans and their ancestors were strong enough that anything that evolved alongside them adapted to avoid humans or risk extinction. I'm not sure if human evolution from a simple mammal could survive alongside dinosaurs long enough to reach the point where we could effectively defend ourselves. I imagine we'd mostly be stuck either being small enough to evade them or stuck hiding in trees off the ground.

It's a weird assumption that something like a Trex would even bother with a scrawny human with barely any meat on it when there's much more meat to be had from other dinos.
Chickens eat bugs. It's not so far off.
