Detailed explanation-1: -Cenozoic (66 million years ago until today) means ‘recent life. ‘ During this era, plants and animals look most like those on Earth today.

Mass extinctions create opportunities for new life to thrive, and mammals filled the gap that dinosaurs left behind. They evolved into many species you would recognize today-including humans!
Detailed explanation-3: -Abstract. The Cenozoic Era spans the interval from 66 million years ago to present. It is divided into the Paleogene Period (66–23 million years ago) and Neogene Period (23 million years ago to present).
