Explanation

The Pleistocene epoch (2.58 million to 11,700 years ago) is when Homo sapiens evolved and spread across the globe. This epoch was marked by repeated glaciations (ice ages) and the emergence of modern humans. The Holocene began after the Pleistocene (10,000 years ago to present), Mesozoic was the age of dinosaurs, and Cambrian was much earlier (541-485 million years ago).
