Dinosaurs went extinct.
There quite a bit of evolutionary changes that happened 5 millions years ago. Mammals were constantly changing and humans as we know them today are said to be only 2.4 million years old.
Hominids are erect bipedal primate mammals that evolved into modern human beings. The earliest hominid was the Ardipithecus Kadabba, this species lived between 5. 8 and 5. 2 million years ago.

The Precambrian period was from 4600 million years ago to about 542 million years ago.
Hundreds of thousands of immigrants came to Australia for the goldrushes in the mid 1800s. At the beginning of the goldrush, in 1851, Australia's population was about 430,000. Twenty years later, in 1871, the population had trebled to 1.7 million. This was an increase of 1.27 million.
That meteor is thought to have ended the reign of the dinosaurs and this created an opportunity for mammals to flourish.
EOCENE - from 58 million to 40 million years ago; presence of modern mammals wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn
Mammals are older. The first mammals evolved around 220 million years ago, not long after the first dinosaurs. Birds evolved from small carnivorous dinosaurs about 160 million years ago.
the last 65 million years is called the age of mammals

The first dinosaurs AND the first mammals both appeared in the Triassic period From the Mesozoic era.
It is thought that the age of mammals started when the dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago.
Mammals actually first came into existence about 220 million years ago, which is about 155 million years before the dinosaurs went extinct, and only about 10 million years after they themselves first evolved. So mammals actually lived alongside the dinosaurs, though played a much smaller role.
Mammals appeared in the late Triassic period about 220-230 million years ago.
Both dinosaurs and mammals evolved in the Triassic Period of the Mesozoic Era.The earliest known dinosaurs are dated back to 230 million years ago.Mammals were thought to have evolved about 30 million years later, about 200 million years ago.
