An andrewsarchus is an extinct mammal belonging to the Eocene epoch.
Humans originated in the Pleistocene, but did not become a dominant or influential species until the Holocene. The Eocene saw the rise of horse and dog species in North America.
The Miocene epoch lasted longer than the Eocene epoch. The Miocene spanned from about 23 million to 5.3 million years ago, lasting approximately 18.7 million years. In contrast, the Eocene lasted from about 56 million to 33.9 million years ago, totaling around 22.1 million years. Thus, while both epochs were significant in Earth's geological history, the Eocene was shorter than the Miocene.
In the late Eocene, 40 million years ago.
The dominant animal of the Eocene Epoch was the early mammals, which included large herbivorous mammals like the brontotheres and early primates. This period marked a significant diversification and expansion of mammalian species in response to the changing environment.
