What eon do people live in today?

Answer 1

5th

Edit:

The ancient Greeks referred to an eon as being an eternity, so by that definition, we would be in the one and only eon, but in geology, an eon amounts to about 1 billion years, making the Earth be 4.6 eons old, so, the answer would either be the first eon, or the 5th eon. Depends on how you look at it.

Answer 3

We currently live in the Phanerozoic eon. There are only two eons, they are the Precambrian and the Phanerozoic. The basic difference between these eons is that the Precambrian had rocks with rare and simple life-forms. While, the Phanerozoic eon is characterized by a sudden increase in the number and diversity of fossils in rocks.
