Porcupines have been on the planet for millions of years, with their ancestors dating back to around 35 million years ago. The modern porcupine species we recognize today evolved more recently, approximately 10-15 million years ago. They belong to the family Erethizontidae in the order Rodentia, showcasing a long evolutionary history.
