Are Dimetrodon ancestors of humans?

AI RESPONSE

No, Dimetrodon is not a direct ancestor of humans, but it is more closely related to mammals than to dinosaurs.

Dimetrodon was a synapsid, part of a group that includes mammals and their extinct relatives. While it lived about 290–272 million years ago (long before dinosaurs), it belonged to a lineage that eventually gave rise to mammals.
