Скачать или смотреть The World Through the Ages: Eocene Epoch | Moments in History

The Eocene Epoch (56–34 million years ago), part of the Paleogene Period, was a time of rapid evolutionary expansion and global warmth. Mammals diversified dramatically, giving rise to early forms of horses, whales, bats, and primates, while birds became increasingly widespread. Flowering plants flourished, creating dense forests that covered much of the land, from tropical to temperate regions. During the Eocene, Earth experienced one of its warmest climates, with high sea levels and minimal polar ice, fostering rich and diverse ecosystems both on land and in the oceans. Continents continued drifting toward their modern positions, shaping ocean currents and influencing climate patterns. Early marine mammals, such as primitive whales, began adapting to aquatic life, marking an important evolutionary milestone. This epoch also saw the development of modern insect and plant groups. The Eocene represents a crucial period of adaptation and innovation, setting the stage for the rise of more advanced mammals and the establishment of ecosystems that would evolve further in the Oligocene.
