After taking you on a journey through geologic time, we've arrived at the Cenozoic Era. Most of the mammals and birds that you can think of appeared during this era but perhaps more importantly, the Cenozoic marks the rise of organisms that look a lot like us.

For some reason yet all this still doesn't add up. I believe that humans are somehow out of place in the entire evolution process. Nature always took care to have a balance in evolution and all the other species on this planet who were evolving along remained basically the same. Even monkeys today have the same lifestyle they had millions of years ago. Eat, drink, mate and survive. And then suddenly humans appear out of nowhere, raise above every other living creature, populate the planet and becoming something completely out of the balance and all this in less than a few thousand years. This is not adding up with the fact that live is evolving since hundreds of millions of years on planet Earth...yet only we managed to get this far
16 dager sidenR Fry
language and tool use is very very important - we can see that crows and things are beginning to do this, and they form very complex societies. We know that humans were like this when we first arose, but after several hundreds of thousands of years we basically learnt to talk to each other. If you want a really call explanation, check out the book ‘Sapiens’, it’s so good.

no group of animals ever made a choice to adapt and improve-or die. in whatever conditions at any given time those born with certain traits allow them to survive to breed-others die and dont breed and cant produce offspring. changes also are not in a line as if to improve they are branched all over the place. we insist on viewing evolution as if striving towards a goal but even humans are devolving in various ways since there is no more survival of the fittest. T rex was alot more advanced than we ever thought of being as are sharks. A dolphin does not care about building a radio or rocket.if our line walked on the moon but also kill each other and shortly all of us--is that advanced evolution? in a million years we will be looked at as freaks of nature that all the other animals will have a street fair that we died out so that normal animals could go back to eating each other alive.

Synapsids did not descend from reptiles. Reptilia as a group are sauropsids. The best way to describe it would have been to say that synapsids are a group of animals that split from a common ancestor that linked them to what would eventually become reptiles. Edit: On another note birds are in fact reptiles.

@Mick Avoidant generations have variation and the environment can select for more beneficial traits, which then are more common in the next varied generation. If this happens across millions of generations (as we know existed), then macro evolution happened. Simple as.
