Badgers are believed to have first evolved around 20 million years ago during the late Miocene epoch. They belong to the family Mustelidae, which includes weasels, otters, and ferrets, and are thought to have diverged from a common ancestor shared with these other species. Fossil evidence suggests that the genus Meles, which includes modern badgers, appeared around 2 million years ago.
