The Cenozoic Era
We live in the Cenozonic Era and the Holocene Epoch.
During the Holocene epoch, which began around 11,700 years ago, many biological forms evolved and diversified. This period saw the rise of modern humans, the extinction of large mammals like mammoths and saber-toothed cats, and the development of agriculture. Additionally, plants and animals adapted to changing climatic conditions and human impacts on the environment.
The first hominins appeared in the Miocene epoch, around 6 to 7 million years ago. These early hominins were more ape-like in appearance and behavior compared to modern humans.
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.
There were 5 reversals that occurred in the Gilbert Epoch.
Humans are currently living in the Quatentary Period and in the Holocene Epoch.
We live in the Cenozoic era. Currently, we are in the Holocene epoch of the Quaternary period. Humans evolved in the Pleistocene epoch which was also in the Quaternary period.
According to the most recent NY Earth Science reference tables, the earliest epoch that humans existed was the Pleistocene epoch. The following epoch is the Holocene epoch, the one we currently live in.
The epoch that humans are currently in is called the Holocene epoch. Scientists argue that the epoch we are in is actually the Anthropocene epoch, which means 'new man.'
We live in the Cenozonic Era and the Holocene Epoch.

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.
During the Holocene epoch, which began around 11,700 years ago, many biological forms evolved and diversified. This period saw the rise of modern humans, the extinction of large mammals like mammoths and saber-toothed cats, and the development of agriculture.
