Cenozoic
A period is smaller than an era in the geologic time scale. It is further subdivided into epochs and ages.
The shortest division in the geologic time scale is an Epoch. Epochs are subdivisions of a period and are typically tens of millions of years long.
Scientists believe that humans first appeared during the Quaternary period, specifically in the Pleistocene epoch. This period started about 2.6 million years ago and continues to the present day.
Yes, the Neogene is a geologic period that precedes the Quaternary period in the geologic time scale. The Quaternary period includes the Pleistocene and Holocene epochs, while the Neogene includes the Miocene and Pliocene epochs.

Cenozoic is not a major period of the geologic time scale. The scale is broken down into eras. Cenozoic, Mesozoic and Paleozoic are all part of the Phanerozic era.
This period is called holocene.

The methods the geologists used when they first developed the geologic time scale. Were studying rock layers and index fossils worldwide. By Patrick

Humans
Scientists believe that humans first appeared during the Quaternary period, specifically in the Pleistocene epoch. This period started about 2.6 million years ago and continues to the present day.
On the geologic time scale, an era is longer than a period. There are 12 geologic eras in total and they are composed of geologic periods. For instance, the Mesozoic era is composed of the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.
