The first epoch of the Quaternary Period is the Pleistocene, which began around 2.6 million years ago and lasted until about 11,700 years ago. It is characterized by repeated glacial cycles, where large ice sheets advanced and retreated across much of the northern hemisphere. The Pleistocene saw significant changes in climate, the evolution of modern humans, and the extinction of many large mammals. Following the Pleistocene, the current epoch, the Holocene, began.
The first epic of the Quaternary Period is "The Epic of Gilgamesh," an ancient Mesopotamian poem that dates back to around 2100 BCE. It is considered one of the earliest works of literature and explores themes of friendship, mortality, and the search for meaning.
Cows first appeared in the Miocene Epoch, part of the Neogene Period in the Cenozoic Era. (current era) The Miocene Epoch started 23 million years ago and ended 5 million years ago, and many different grazing species developed during this time period.
We live in the Cenozonic Era and the Holocene Epoch.
Currently recognized are two epochs, the first being the Pleistocene, and the second, which started with the end of the last glaciation 10,000 years ago is the Holocene.
The correct order representing units of geologic time in increasing order is B. Eon, era, period, epoch. This hierarchy reflects the largest to smallest divisions of geologic time, with eons being the longest intervals and epochs being the shortest.
Homo sapiens first appeared during the Quaternary period, specifically in the Middle Paleolithic epoch within the Pleistocene epoch.
the mammoths were in the quarternary period

The Holocene Epoch
The Hettangian Epoch. The liassic epoch.
The period where whales first appeated is to be during the Eocene Epoch (56-34 Million Years Ago).

1.8 million year ago
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.

An epoch is just any given time period usually marked by specific events. For example, one might describe the period of the French Revolution as "the epoch of belief,...the epoch of incredulity" (Bonus points if anyone knows what novel that's from...)
