During what period of the 8.4 billion-year history of life have humans evolved?

  1. Jurassic

  2. Holocene

  3. Cenozoic

  4. Mesozoic

The correct answer is: Cenozoic

The Cenozoic Era is the correct answer because it refers to the "Age of Mammals", which includes human evolution. The Jurassic and Mesozoic Eras occurred before the evolution of mammals and humans. The Holocene Epoch is the most recent geological epoch, but it is only a small part of the Cenozoic Era. Therefore, it is not a correct answer.
