Best Answer

The first homonids (animals from the same genus as people) evolved about 3 million years ago. Our species, Homo sapiens, evolved about 200,000 years ago.

All of the time since the dinosaurs died out 65.5 million years ago is called the Cenozoic Era, thus humans evolved in the Cenozoic.

What are the animals in the 4 geologic eras?

Precambrian Era: During this first Era, about 3.6 billion years ago the first prokaryotic organisms evolved (LUCA). 2 billion years later, the first eukaryotic cells evolved. At the end of this Era, simple multicellular organisms like sponges, jellyfish, worms, and shelled organisms. Paleozoic Era: This Era begins with the cambrian explosion of life. A great variety of organisms evolved. During this era the oceans exploded with life. The Ozone layer was created and the first land plants, insects, amphibians, and first reptiles evolved. This era is also known as the Age of Amphibians. Mesozoic Era: Known as the Age of Dinosaurs, it is reptiles that rule the land and that by the Jurassic perios, has grown in size and variety. Flying reptiles with feathers evolved(ancestors of birds) and the first mammals (the size of a mouse) evolved. Cenozoic Era: Is the age of mammals. Because there is no mayor competition, mammals are allowed to flourish and develop into large forms(Mammoth, Mastodont, Giant Sloths, Saber tooth tigers, etc). the first primates evolved, they look very similar to big squirrels and lated lemurs. Humans evolved about 200,000 years ago.
