AI overview

The Phanerozoic is the most recent of Earth's four major geologic time periods, extending from millions of years ago to today, and it's the era when animals and plants developed and spread widely across the planet, leaving behind clear fossil evidence starting with the Cambrian period. It matters because it encompasses all of Earth's history with abundant visible life, contrasting sharply with the earlier Precambrian eons when life was sparse or microscopic.
