the Cenozoic era which was 66 million years ago & advanced
The Quaternary is the youngest era in the geologic time scale, which began around 2.6 million years ago and continues to the present day. It is characterized by the presence of ice ages and the evolution of humans.
No, a geologic era is a longer unit of time than a geologic period. Geologic eras are divided into periods, which are further subdivided into epochs. The hierarchy from largest to smallest is era, period, epoch.
The divisions of the geologic time scale are divided into four eras. from earliest to closer to the present is the Precambrian, Paleozoic, Mesozoic, Cenozoic. During these time periods, there were several major evolutionary events. Most commonly known are the dinosaurs and humans. Hope that helped :)

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.
Abundant and diverse fossils first appeared in the Cambrian era, although there is fossil evidence throughout much of the Precambrian.

an era is a very long span of geologic time
Currently we are in the Cenozoic era.

in the scope of geologic time, how significant is the presence of humans?
