The Paleozoic era begins with the Cambrian radiation, a time of

great growth in the number of different kinds of animals in the oceans. It


ends with the greatest extinction in the history of life. Other major
extinction events occurred at the end of the Ordovician Period and near
the end of the Devonian Period. The Paleozoic Era is also the time in
which plants and animals adapted to life on land.

The Mesozoic and Cenozoic eras make up the youngest half of the
Phanerozoic. The Triassic Period, the youngest period of the Mesozoic Era, was the time
in which both mammals and dinosaurs evolved. The Mesozoic ended with a major
extinction at the close of the Cretaceous Period. All dinosaurs except birds disappeared
in this extinction. Another mass extinction occurred near the end of the Triassic Period.
The Cenozoic Era was a time in which communities became more modern in
appearance. By the very end of the era (Neogene Period), Homo sapiens, our species,
had evolved
