Best Answer

The first bacteria are believed to have existed about 3 1/2 billion years ago. The first land plants: about 450 million years ago. And the first animals that walked and set their feet down on land: about 250 million years ago. Mammals may have begun their existence not much after this time, perhaps 225 million years ago, but they did not begin to thrive until about 65 million years ago when it is commonly beleived that a huge asteroid hit the earth and wiped out the dinosaurs, all except their cousins, the birds.
