A little back history is required before going into just how human beings (or at least humanoids) evolved from dragons.
Around the time of the late Cretacious period, some human scientists believed that a huge meteor struck the earth somewhere near the Yucatan Peninsula, creating huge storms of dust in the atmosphere and blocking out the sun, and withou the sun to sustain them most of the plants died out. Subsequently, without plants to feed on, most herbivores died out. And without any herbivores to feed on, carnivores soon followed into extinction. Omnivores more or less managed.

In this new timeline, the meteor was actually hollow, and more or less survived intact and preserved the scaled beings hibernating within it. Dragons, being magical in nature and having strong ties with both the magical and natural world, were able to sense the cataclysm that was consuming the world and hibernated until such a time that the planet had healed and could support them.
After waiting for tens of thousands of years, the dragons eventually woke up to a world that was in the middle of the Ice Ages and, still acting mostly on instinct rather than sentient judgment at this point in time, hunted down early humans as a food source and soon brought them to extinction. This may have also had something to do with the fact that early humans were the only ones not to have an innate inner magic within them, something the dragons found made them easy prey.
