When the Earth woke up from an ice age, the Paleozoic Era began. This era lasted for 289 million years, but you might not even last five minutes in a Paleozoic climate. The Paleozoic Era was divided into six periods: Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous and Permian. Our Earth gave birth to new animal species and the continents as we know them began to take shape.
