Pliocene
Miocene
The Miocene, a period of warming, began about 21 million years ago.
The Miocene epoch lasted longer than the Eocene epoch. The Miocene spanned from about 23 million to 5.3 million years ago, lasting approximately 18.7 million years. In contrast, the Eocene lasted from about 56 million to 33.9 million years ago, totaling around 22.1 million years. Thus, while both epochs were significant in Earth's geological history, the Eocene was shorter than the Miocene.
The Miocene epoch saw the spread of grasslands as a new vegetative zone, replacing forests in many regions. This shift in vegetation had a significant impact on the evolution of species, particularly the migration and diversification of grazers.
1 million years ago is within the time period of the Pleistocene epoch, which lasted from about 2.6 million to 11,700 years ago. This time was characterized by numerous ice ages and the evolution of early humans.

The first hominids appeared during the Miocene epoch, between 23 to 5 million years ago. This period marked the emergence of early hominids such as Ardipithecus and Australopithecus, ancestors of modern humans.
holocene us humans are living in the cenezoic period, holocene epoch.

Palaeobatrachus is an prehistoric frog from Germany. It lived during the Miocene Epoch and was about 4 inches long.
Dinohyus ruled from the Oligocene epoch to the miocene, it ruled for about 13 million years.
5 to 25 Million Years ago
1 million years ago is within the time period of the Pleistocene epoch, which lasted from about 2.6 million to 11,700 years ago. This time was characterized by numerous ice ages and the evolution of early humans.
