The scientific study of animals and animal life during the Cenozoic era.
Combines 'Cenozoic' (recent life) with 'zoology' (study of animals), following the Greek pattern of scientific nomenclature for geological time periods and their fauna.
Cenozoology includes studying how modern animals like horses, whales, and primates evolved from earlier forms—it's basically the detective work behind understanding your own evolutionary family tree.
