About this document
Neogene Period: Climate and Evolution by Erikh James Mestidio is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The Neogene Period lasted from 23 million to 2.6 million years ago. During this period, grasslands and savannahs replaced vast areas of forest. More modern mammals evolved as their habitats changed, and complex patterns of mammalian evolution resulted from shifting climates and separating continents. The Neogene Period ended approximately 2.6 million years ago at the conclusion of the Pliocene Epoch, when a supernova may have triggered climate change and mass extinction.
