The Cenozoic Era started 65.5 million years ago and still is the current era.
It is widely recognised as the era of the mammal but this is a very simplistic view.
For several million years after the KT-Event the most dominant animals where the Terror Birds. In South America this dominance only ended about 2 million years ago soon after it joined with North America and species of saber toothed cats took over.
From as long ago as 45 million years ago mammals such as Andrewsarchus on land and Basilosaurus in the oceans had come to dominate most environments on Earth.
One major exception to mammalian domination is flying animals. The sky during the Cenozoic has been mainly dominated by the decedents of dinosaurs, the birds.
Other smaller environments such as the everglades in southern Florida the dominant animals are the Reptilian Alligators.
One mammal however has become the most dominant species on earth, Human Beings. Starting from about 200,000 years we started to slowly dominate Africa and about 70,000 years ago we started to colonise the rest of the planet. We now are the most dominant species in every environment.
What else can I help you with?
How long has Earth been in the current era?
The current era is the Cenozoic. It began 65.5 million years ago. The previous era was the Mesozoic.
What group of animals seems to be dominant in the Cenozoic Era?
Mammals are the group of animals that appear to be dominant in the Cenozoic Era, which began around 66 million years ago and continues to the present day. This era is often referred to as the "Age of Mammals" due to the diversification and widespread success of mammalian species during this time.
When did the Cenozoic era end?
The Cenozoic era started 65 million years ago.
In which geologic era did humans appear?
Humans appeared during the Quaternary period of the Cenozoic era, which began around 2.6 million years ago. This era is marked by the development of modern human species and the emergence of Homo sapiens.
