What era was 35000 years ago?
This is the Cenozoic era, near the boundary of Quaternary and Neogene periods, and therefore near the boundary of the Pleistocene and Pliocene epochs. Please see the link.
What is a Pleistocene glacier?
The Pleistocene is the geological epoch which lasted from about 2,588,000 to 11,700 years ago, spanning the world's recent period of repeated glaciations.Charles Lyell introduced this term in 1839 to describe strata in Sicily that had at least 70% of their molluscan fauna still living today. This distinguished it from the older Pliocene Epoch, which Lyell had originally thought to be the youngest fossil rock layer. He constructed the name "Pleistocene" ("Most New" or "Newest") from the Greek.This contrasting with the immediately preceding Pleiocene ("More New" or "Newer", from "more", and kainós; usual spelling: Pliocene), and the immediately subsequent Holocene ("wholly new" or "entirely new", from ὅλος, hólos, "whole", and kainós) epoch, which extends to the present time.The Pleistocene is the first epoch of the Quaternary Period or sixth epoch. The end of the Pleistocene corresponds with the end of the last glacial period. It also corresponds with the end of the Paleolithic age used in Archaeology. In the ICS timescale, the Pleistocene is divided into four stages or ages, the Gelasian, Calabrian, Ionian and Tarantian. All of these stages were defined in southern Europe. In addition to this international subdivision, various regional subdivisions are often used.Before a change finally confirmed in 2009 by the International Union of Geological Sciences, the time boundary between the Pleistocene and the preceding Pliocene was regarded as being at 1.806 million years before the present, as opposed to the currently accepted 2.588 million years BP: publications from the preceding years may use either definition of the period.
What are the three time periods humans have been in?
The human have only been here for one period which is Neogene period in Cenozoic era.Neogene period is divided into 4 epochs.The genus Homo has been traced for following 3 epochs: Holocene, Pleistocene and Pliocene epochs.
What are the different era?
Modern dating techniques have given a range of dates as to when the various geologic time periods have started, as they are listed below: Cenozoic Quaternary Holocene 10,000 years ago Estimated millions of years: Pleistocene 1.9 Tertiary Pliocene 6 Miocene 25 Oligocene 38 Eocene 55 Paleocene 65 Mesozoic Cretaceous 135 Jurassic 200 Triassic 250 Paleozoic Permian 285 Carboniferous (divided into 350 Mississippian and Pennsylvanian periods by some in the U.S.) Devonian 410 Silurian 425 Ordovician 500 Cambrian 570 Precambrian Proterozoic 2500 Archeozoic 3800 Azoic 4600
Eras are divided into periods which can be further divided into?
Eras divide into periods and periods divide into epochs. The Palaeozoic Era is composed of the Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous and Permian periods (in that order). The Mesozoic Era is divided into the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. The Cenozoic Era is divided into the Tertiary and Quaternary periods. The Tertiary period is divided into the Palaeocene, Eocene, Oligocene, Miocene and Pliocene epochs while the Quaternary period is divided into the Pleistocene and Holocene epochs. Note that eras are not the longest lengths of time. Eras may compose longer stretches of time known as eons/aeons.

Is the neogene apart of quaternary?
The Neogene Period is not a part of the Quaternary Period. The Quaternary Period occurred right after the Neogene Period. The Neogene is divided into two, Miocene and the Pliocene epochs.
Where did the scimitar cat live?
They existed in North America, Asia, Africa, and Europe during the Pliocene and Pleistocene ages.
What does Pliocene and Pleistocene mean?
Of, pertaining to, or characterizing, the most recent division of the Tertiary age., The Pliocene period or deposits.
How many epochs in the Tertiary period?
The Tertiary Period (including the Pliocene, Miocene, Oligocene, Eocene, and Paleocene Epochs) lasted from about 65 million years ago to 1.8 million years ago. It is part of the Cenozoic Era, along with the Quarternary Period.

What did the homo erectus lived?
Homo erectus existed from the end of the Pliocene to the later Pleistocene epoch approximately 1.8 to 1.3 million years ago although the date is only an approximation.
