The Miocene Epoch is a period of time that extends from about 23.03 to 5.332 million years before the present. As with other older geologic periods, the rock beds that define the start and end are well identified but the exact dates of the start and end of the period are uncertain. The Miocene was named by Sir Charles Lyell. Its name comes from the Greek words μείων (meioon, less) and καινός (kainos, new) and means "less recent" because it has 18% (less than the Pliocene) of modern sea invertebrates. The Miocene follows the Oligocene Epoch and is followed by the Pliocene Epoch. The Miocene is the first epoch of the Neogene Period.

- The Miocene Epoch was the first time period of the Neogene. It began 25 +/- 2 MYA, ended 9 +/- 3 MYA, lasting for about 15 million years. The middle of Miocene was marked by the appearance of Antarctic ice sheet and other geological changes, such as the formation of Alps in Europe, Himalayas in Asia and Andes in South America, changing Earth's climate further. As a result, several more ancient animal lineages, especially those tied to rainforest and swamp habitats, died out, as the planet's climate became drier, forming steppes and savannas.

The Miocene was named by Sir Charles Lyell. Its name comes from the Greek words μείων (meiōn, “less”) and καινός (kainos, “new”) and means "less recent" because it has 18% fewer of modern sea invertebrates than the Pliocene.

The Miocene follows the Oligocene Epoch and is followed by the Pliocene Epoch. The Miocene is the first epoch of the Neogene Period. As the earth cooled, it went from the Oligocene epoch through the Miocene and into the Pliocene.

As a result, several more ancient animal lineages, especially those tied to rainforest and swamp habitats, died out, as the planet's climate became drier, forming steppes and savannas. The mammals of Miocene include first artiodactyls; the evolution of horses and proboscideans was under way as well. Bears, hyenas, anteaters, giant ground sloths appeared - the so-called hipparion fauna. Pinnipeds and new families of cetaceans had evolved. Finally, the ape reached its pinnacle during the Miocene, including the ancestors of Australopithecus, who eventually became the ancestors of humans.
