This era, the Cenozoic era, is the age of mammals. But among botanists and paleobotanists, it is known as the age of flowers -- the anthophyta.
The extinction of the dinosaurs of the Mesozoic Era allowed mammals to proliferate and diversify.

Human beings were present on Earth toward the end of the Cenozoic Era?
Well possibly. The Cenozoic or Age of the Mammals is the current geological era of the earth that began 65.5 million years ago. When it ends is not so much when we decide but more when nature decides. An extinction or genetic mutations leading to a new genus different than mammals and becoming the dominant life form will mark the end of this era. So whether we can say humans arrived toward the end of the Cenozoic era is for history to decide.
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.
