So no time travelers died of the extreme heat at 250 million years ago when the average temperature of the Earth was over 90 F ?

What about the earth no longer being where it was when transport was initiated? I think that may be fatal.
 What about accidentally squashing an insect in the distant past and wiping out the entire evolutionary chain for humans?  ;-)
 
Insects and mankind are separate paths.
Mammals appeared about the same time as the saurians were in
charge definitely with the dinosaurians. It was not until the
extinction of the dinosaurians that mammals had the chance to
rule the planet.  They did this by taking over all sorts of niches
in the ecology of the Earth following the big extinction and
some became primates which evolved into a fair sized family
and one branch or maybe more than one but quite closely
related began to grow larger brains and eventually frontal
cortexes and we had homo sapiens sapiens. Really only half
sapient unless specially trained.
But if you go back to the age of the Saurians avoid
injury to mouse-sized animals. But i think you can slap that
mosquito. Better to stay in this time line where all the
people you care about are rather than risk ending up in
a very strange timeline.
