During which one of the following epochs, Homo sapiens appeared on the Earth?

Correct option is B

Introduction
The appearance and evolution of modern humans, Homo sapiens, took place primarily during the Pleistocene Epoch. This epoch, commonly known as the Ice Age, spanned from approximately 2.6 million years ago to about 11,700 years ago. Anatomically modern humans emerged in Africa during the middle to late Pleistocene.
Information Booster
· Geological Time: The Pleistocene Epoch is part of the Quaternary Period.
· Appearance: Homo sapiens evolved and migrated out of Africa during this epoch.
· Climate: The Pleistocene is commonly known as the "Ice Age" due to the cyclic expansion and contraction of continental glaciers.
· Associated Fauna: This epoch is also characterized by the presence of 'megafauna' (like woolly mammoths and saber-toothed cats).
· End of Epoch: The Pleistocene ended with the last glacial period, leading into the current Holocene Epoch.
Additional Points
· Oligocene, Palaeocene, and Eocene: These epochs are much older, and the only human ancestors present during these times were much more primitive hominoids, not Homo sapiens.
