The asteroid impact ended this Era, Cenozoic - division in time that there were mammals on the Earth, we live in this Era, Punctuated - An abrupt change in the evolution because of a environmental change.

(Bats, birds, cats, whales, humans), Analogous structures  - Evolution evidence that shows that organisms are not closely related. they have similar structures (wings, fins) but only because they live in the same environments., Vestigal structure - Structures that are not used anymore by an organism because they are not needed (the hip bone of a whale), Embryology - Evidence of evolution, the early stages of development in an organism where they all look similar (gill slits and a tail),
