∙ 9y agoMammals really began to thrive on Earth about 10 million years ago. This is of course based on the theory of Evolution and not Creationism.

∙ 11y agoAbout 50 million years ago. That's only approximate, but it's a lot better than the previous answer.

As land plants evolved what generation become more dominant A Gametophyte B Sporophyte C both D neither?
In lower plants gametophytic generation was dominant and as the evolution progressed the gametophytic generation became progressively reduced and ultimately became dependent on sporophytic generation. Thus as the evolution progressed sporophyte become more dominant.

During which era did mammals become common?

What were the dominant species during the Cenozoic era?
There was no one dominant species throughout the Cenozoic, as it was a period of time that stretched from the extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago to the present day, with many changes in climate that would hinder the ability of any one species to be dominant. However, it is perfectly sensible to say that mammals were dominant since the start of the Cenozoic. Mammals at the time of the dinosaurs (the Jurassic and Cretaceous, mostly) were mostly very small scavengers and herbivores. The extraterrestrial impact and flood basalt outpourings that killed the dinosaurs and many other species left mostly animals under 10kg in weight - chief among them the mammals. With no larger predators to kill them, the mammals took the evolutionary opportunity and flourished, leading us to become the dominant species we are today.
