Humans evolved in the Eocene period.

Humans did not evolve in the Eocene period; instead, they evolved during the Neogene period. The Eocene was a crucial time for the emergence of early mammals, but human ancestors appeared millions of years later. The correct period for human evolution is the Miocene epoch of the Neogene period. ;

Humans did not evolve during the Eocene period; they evolved during the Neogene period, specifically in the Miocene epoch. The Eocene period, from about 56 to 34 million years ago, was an important time for the development of early mammals, but human ancestors appeared millions of years later. The timeline of human evolution indicates that it began approximately 5 to 7 million years ago, long after the Eocene period.
