Exploring the Cenozoic Era

The Cenozoic era, spanning the last 65.5 million years, is marked by significant climate changes and the proliferation of flowering plants and mammals. This era saw the development of diverse climates, from warm to glacial, affecting both plant and animal life. Notable events include the spread of early mammals, such as horses, and the appearance of large mammals like the woolly mammoth and saber-toothed tiger. The era also witnessed the emergence of pre-humans, eventually evolving into Homo sapiens.
