During the Miocene epoch, which lasted from about 23 to 5 million years ago, several bird species evolved to resemble modern forms. Notably, the ancestors of many modern waterfowl, such as ducks and geese, began to appear during this period. The Miocene also saw the emergence of diverse raptors and Songbirds, reflecting significant evolutionary advancements in avian morphology and behavior. This era marked a crucial period in avian diversification, leading to the birds we recognize today.
Miocene Epoch
Miocene is the epoch when apes appeared.
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.
The Miocene epoch follows the Oligocene epoch in the geologic time scale. It lasted from about 23 million to 5 million years ago and was a period of cooling and drying climates.
Miocene
The Miocene, a period of warming, began about 21 million years ago.
holocene us humans are living in the cenezoic period, holocene epoch.
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.
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.
Dinohyus ruled from the Oligocene epoch to the miocene, it ruled for about 13 million years.
Palaeobatrachus is an prehistoric frog from Germany. It lived during the Miocene Epoch and was about 4 inches long.
