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.
Humans are thought to have evolved during the geological epoch known as the Pleistocene, which began around 2.6 million years ago and ended approximately 11,700 years ago. This period was marked by multiple ice ages and significant changes in climate and environment.
Cenozoic Era :)
The Cenozoic or "recent life" era
Humans evolved in the Pleistocene era, which is the most recent part of the larger Cenozoic era. Modern humans first begin appearing in the fossil record approximately 200,000 years ago.
No. The dinosaurs rose in the Mesozoic era. The end of the Mesozoic era was also the end of the dinosaurs. The era following is the Cenozoic, which we are still in today.
no humans were apes that had over time evolved to humans
Nothing evolved from humans. As of now, we are the highest on the evolutionary chain. At least, for now we are.
they evolved into humans.
We live in the Cenozoic era. Currently, we are in the Holocene epoch of the Quaternary period. Humans evolved in the Pleistocene epoch which was also in the Quaternary period.
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.

The era in which early humans made tools is called the Paleolithic Era.
