The Era of Recent Life, also known as the Cenozoic Era, began approximately 66 million years ago and continues to the present day. It is characterized by the dominance of mammals and birds, following the mass extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs. The Cenozoic is divided into three periods: the Paleogene, Neogene, and Quaternary, which have seen significant developments in climate, geography, and the evolution of various species, including humans. This era has been marked by significant geological and climatic changes that have shaped the modern world.
Cenozoic era
Humans are thought to have evolved during the Pleistocene era. This period began about 2.5 million years ago and lasted until about 11,700 years ago. It was characterized by multiple ice ages and the emergence of early human species.
The oldest named Era was the Eoarchean Era from 4 to 3.6 billion years ago. This was preceeded by the Hadean Eon (4,576.2 to 4,000 Ma) but this so far is not subdivided into eras.
The Paleozoic Era is also known as the age of ancient life.
The three most recent eras of the current Phanerozoic Eon are the Cenozoic Era (from 66 million years ago to present), the Mesozoic Era (from 252 to 66 million years ago), and the Paleozoic Era (from 541 to 252 million years ago).

The era of recent life is commonly referred to as the Modern Era, which began around the 16th century with the Age of Enlightenment and continues to the present day. It is characterized by significant advancements in technology, industry, globalization, and social change.
The Eras go like this: Precambrian Era Paleozoic Era Mesozoic Era Cenozoic Era Dinosaurs lived during the Mesozoic Era, and we live in the Cenozoic Era. Paleozoic means "ancient life" Mesozoic means "middle life" Cenozoic means "recent life" All eras end in a huge disaster
The Cenozoic era
The sequence of the eras of Earth's history from oldest to most recent is: Precambrian, Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic. The Precambrian era comprises the earliest stages of Earth's formation, followed by the Paleozoic era known for the rise of complex life forms. The Mesozoic era is characterized by the age of dinosaurs, and finally, the Cenozoic era represents the current era with the dominance of mammals.
After the dinosaurs came the Quaternary period. In this period there was and ice age (the one you think about when you hear the word ice age) and mammals became the dominant life forms on earth. Mammoths, Giant Sloths, and Sabertoothed tigers lived during this period.
The Age of Dinosaurs is actually called the Mesozoic era. Its name means "middle life," as it comes after the earliest complex life but before the most recent life forms.

A new approach yields the Answer: Anthropic - the Era of Mankind.
We are currently in the Cenozoioc Era (sub-era Tertiary); the era is divided into 3 periods, starting with the Palaeogene, then the Neogene, & now the Quaternary period. The era before this one was called the Mesozoic Era
