Geologic time was originally divided into four parts, Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, and Quaternary, with the Quaternary being the current time of life. Eventually it was realized that the Primary and Secondary were much more distinctly different than the Tertiary and Quaternary, so the were re-named the Paleozoic (old life) and Mesozoic (middle life) eras, while the Tertiary and Quaternary were classified periods within the Cenozoic (recent life) era. The Tertiary contains the first five epochs, while the Quaternary contains the last two.
Some consider the division between Tertiary and Quaternary to be obsolete, and prefer to divide the Cenozoic into the Palaeogene (first three epochs) and Neogene (latest four epochs).
AnswerYou are currently living in the Qaternary period. Is has not ended.
What else can I help you with?
When did the Quaternary Period begin and end?
We are in the Quaternary period now (Holocene Epoch). So it hasn't ended yet.
What Eon was the Quaternary Period in?
Phanerozoic.
was the hippo in the quaternary period?
Since that period is ' to the present, ' yes.
Are you in the Quaternary Period?
Yes. We currently live in an "interglacial period" of the Quaternary Ice Age. Some people confuse "ice age" with a "glacial period" within an ice age.
What period do we live in now?
Geologically speaking, we are in the Quaternary Period.
When did the Quaternary Period begin and end?
We are in the Quaternary period now (Holocene Epoch). So it hasn't ended yet.
What Eon was the Quaternary Period in?
Phanerozoic.
What period is it?
Currently we are in the Quaternary period.
Is the neogene apart of quaternary?
Yes, the Neogene is a geologic period that precedes the Quaternary period in the geologic time scale. The Quaternary period includes the Pleistocene and Holocene epochs, while the Neogene includes the Miocene and Pliocene epochs.
Is the Quaternary Period considered part of the Cenozoic era?
Yes. The Quaternary Period is part of the late Cenozoic.
What period is it now?
Currently we are in the Quaternary period.
What period is before the quaternary?
the period is teritary the period after dinosaurs
What was the climate like during the quaternary time?
It was cold in the Quaternary time period
Which period on the geological time scale are we currently living?
We are living in the Holocene Epoch of the Quaternary Period in the Cenozoic Era of geologic time.
What period are you current living in?
Humans currently live in the Holocene stage. This is part of the Quaternary period, and the Quaternary is a part of the Cenozoic era. The Quaternary began 2.588 million years ago.
What geological era do we live in?
We live in the Quaternary period, which is part of the Cenozoic era.
