When we talk of first appearance, we mean the discovery of
remains. All who believe in the doctrine of evolution, know
that the class Mammalia must have appeared early in Paleozoic
times. Thus, Mr. Wallace says, “Bats and whales—strange
modifications of mammals—appear perfectly well developed in the
Eocene. What countless ages back must we go for the origin of
these groups—the whales from some ancestral carnivorous animal,
the bats from the insectivora!” and even then we have to seek
for the common origin of these groups at far earlier periods.
“So that, on the lowest estimate, we must place the origin of
the Mammalia very far back in Paleozoic times.” (“Island Life,”
p. 201.)
This word is also spelled Kainozoic, and Cainozoic. We follow

Prof. Winchell says: “Quatrefages does not now consider the
proof decisive (_Hommes Fossiles et Hommes Sauvages,_ Paris,
1884, p. 95).” He cites, as agreeing with him, MM. Cotteau,
Evans, “and, I believe, most of the members who have not
publicly pronounced themselves.”

Prof. Winchell remarks that, though some savage races might
have been living in tropical lands during the Miocene, still
the oldest skull and jaws obtainable in Europe are of a higher
type than these.
