WI: Humanity evolved to Pangea

One the other hand these creature are also a end process of several millions year of adaption to a single niche, some of them may have multible stomachs, it should remembered that even through prmates has the brain size benefit and more evolve social structures, these others creature have adapted to niches for million of years that primates has just begun to adapt to, but in the long term these pseudo-primates are likely to outcompete almost everything.

Perhaps you're right. Aside from aquatic, marine, and some high-speed hunting niches (left for the few surviving Dinosaurs after humans are through with them), this is going to be the First Native Americans all over again. Or for the first time. What odds would you give the early dinosaurs, for that matter? They can run faster than humans, but then so could Saber Tooth Cats.

Honestly I give relative good chances, while they're stupid like shit so are many of their descendants today and they thrieve still. I espcially give the smaller species a good chance, they're fast and warm blooded. But honestly peudo-monkeys and pseudo-lemurs are likely to adopt flight before they do. They will likely keep a niche the ratites has had succes to keep, and like the ratite lose the niche as apex predator being replaced by monkeylions, but keep un surving in other niches. Of course that may give the Dicynodont some room to survive, in OTL they was out competed by the dinosaurs as megafauna, but primates will have a hard time taking the ox, hippo and rhino niche over, while the dinosaurs aren't given room to enter them early. While brain size are going to a problem plenty of species prove that brain aren't everything, and while their leg make them slow, they are excellent placed if they try to adapt to swimming or to digging as the monotremes has proven, if they're warmblooded they may end up dominate the otter niche/platypus.

Mass extinctions caused by early humans on a pangeaic level are far beyond what is possible. Even then the North American extinctions haven't been proven to be caused by the paleo-indians.
 
Doubt the last thing, without a animal for transportation the plains are going to look like Americas Great Plain before the horse came along. The Mongols big deal was mobility without that they just a bunch of hunter-gartherers.
Hmm, what about the Zulus?
