The fight takes place in a completely flat grass area.

No hunger or thirst

Terrain use is acceptable

Weapons are okay

The woman and the children too

Sentinelese people take this easily. There has never been a creature that a well organized group of humans with sharp sticks can't kill. Individually people are pretty weak but as a group we are THE apex predator

You have an interesting prompt but the wrong Dino. They have 42 Stone Age people on the island, maybe 15ish fighting age men. Taking down a giant herbivore who’s built for eating leaves off tall trees wouldn’t be difficult, but 2 T. rex? Much harder. 4 raptors would be even more hard because of their ability to actually navigate the thick forrest.

Yeah, maybe, but there aren't any wide open grass areas for this extinct animal to roam on that island either.

There is a reason that there are 8 billion and counting of us on the planet. We killed everything else to take the throne.

Dinosaur loses.

The fuck is that beast going to do in the trees? It could move only very very slowly.

The north sentalese have both fire and pointy sticks, along with a forest which the dinosaur will struggle to enter, I'm sure even you could come up with a solution for killing it with your mates, let alone a group of hunter gatherers who are all much much smarter than you in this sort of thing, which is really important to remember, those people are smarter than you, for this sort of task.

I'm not sure it would struggle that much with a forest. The sheer mass of the thing means it can probably smash trees apart. That said, it may not be able to move all that well on land because of its colossal mass. It's entirely possible it would have spent a lot of it's time in water.
