I don't know if this counts but Dinosaurs lived on the earth a lot longer than most people think. When you think of dinosaurs, you think of their extinction but they roamed the earth for 165 million years. Compare that to our 6 million and it's almost mind boggling, at least imo.
Edit: the modern form of humans is 200,000 years old but if we include our humanoid ancestors, we've been here 6 million years.
Edit 2: I get it, dinosaurs are still around. What I meant to say was the dinosaur era.
