Grupa koronna niedźwiedzi jest bardzo młoda (miocen) i rozgałęzienia drzewa rodowego następowały szybko po sobie, dlatego nawet do ustaleń filogenomicznych trzeba podchodzić ostrożnie (hybrydyzacja i niekompletne sortowanie linii rodowych). Tu nic nie jest ustalone raz na zawsze.

Ne, to ti je starije razdoblje kenozoika. Dijeli se u petoj epohi: paleocen, eocen, oligocen, miocen i pliocen.
Tercijar je doba velikih paleogeografskih i bioloških promjena.

Acosta to Investigate Moisture-Driven Polar Ice Growth and Its Effects on Global Sea Level
In an ambitious endeavor bridging paleoclimate science and advanced Earth system modeling, Assistant Research Professor Paul Acosta of George Mason University’s Atmospheric, Oceanic and Earth Sciences program has secured substantial funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to investigate the complex mechanisms driving Antarctic ice growth during the Middle Miocene epoch. This transformative project, titled “Collaborative Research: Mechanisms of moisture-driven ice growth: a warm Miocene data-model comparison,” aims to unravel the intricate interplay between atmospheric moisture transport, oceanic conditions, and ice sheet dynamics spanning a pivotal interval 17 to 15 million years ago.

Grass snakes mimic defensive stance of the cobra (front part lifted, flattening head). Last time these species shared space was Miocen, 23-6 million years ago.
This behaviour maywork against migrating birds that meet cobras in Africa today

DNA bryts ner inom loppet av 3 miljoner år oftast, men blir helt oläsbart vid 1,2 miljoner år (ungefär) och Toumai är över 6 miljoner gammal och bör ha levt under perioden vi kallar Yngre Miocen.
