61:4.1 This is the period of pre-[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glacier glacial] land elevation in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_America North America], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe Europe], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asia Asia]. The land was greatly altered in [[topography]]. [[Mountain]] ranges were born, [[streams]] changed their [[courses]], and isolated [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcanoes volcanoes] broke out all over the world.
61:4.2 10,000,000 years ago began an age of widespread local [[land]] deposits on the lowlands of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continents continents], but most of these sedimentations were later removed. Much of Europe, at this time, was still under [[water]], including parts of England, Belgium, and France, and the [[Mediterranean]] Sea covered much of northern Africa. In North America extensive depositions were made at the [[mountain]] bases, in [[lakes]], and in the great [[land]] basins. These deposits average only about two hundred feet, are more or less colored, and [[fossils]] are rare. Two great fresh-water [[lakes]] existed in western North America. The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sierras Sierras] were elevating; [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mt._Shasta Shasta], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mt._Hood Hood], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mt._Ranier Rainier] were beginning their [[mountain]] [[careers]]. But it was not until the subsequent [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_Age ice age] that North America began its creep toward the Atlantic depression.
61:4.3 For a short time all the [[land]] of the world was again joined excepting [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia Australia], and the last great world-wide [[animal]] migration took place. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_America North America] was connected with both [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_America South America] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asia Asia], and there was a free exchange of [[animal]] life. Asiatic sloths, armadillos, antelopes, and bears entered North America, while North American camels went to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China China]. Rhinoceroses migrated over the whole world except Australia and South America, but they were [[extinct]] in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Hemisphere Western Hemisphere] by the close of this period.
61:4.4 In general, the life of the preceding period continued to [[evolve]] and spread. The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat cat] family [[dominated]] the [[animal]] life, and [[marine]] life was almost at a standstill. Many of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horses horses] were still three-toed, but the modern types were arriving; llamas and giraffelike camels mingled with the horses on the grazing plains. The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giraffe giraffe] appeared in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Africa Africa], having just as long a neck then as now. In South America sloths, armadillos, anteaters, and the South American type of primitive [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkeys monkeys] evolved. Before the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continents continents] were finally [[isolated]], those massive [[animals]], the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastodons mastodons], migrated everywhere except to Australia.
61:4.5 5,000,000 years ago the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horse horse] evolved as it now is and from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_America North America] migrated to all the world. But the horse had become [[extinct]] on the continent of its origin long before the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64#64:6._THE_SIX_SANGIK_RACES_OF_URANTIA red man] arrived.
61:4.6 The [[climate]] was [[gradually]] getting cooler; the [[land]] [[plants]] were slowly moving southward. At first it was the increasing cold in the north that stopped [[animal]] migrations over the northern [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isthmuses isthmuses]; subsequently these North American land bridges went down. Soon afterwards the [[land]] [[connection]] between [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Africa Africa] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_America South America] finally submerged, and the Western Hemisphere was isolated much as it is today. From this time forward [[Different|distinct]] [[types]] of life began to [[develop]] in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Hemisphere Eastern] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Hemisphere Western Hemispheres].
61:4.7 And thus does this period of almost ten million years' duration draw to a close, and not yet has the [[ancestor]] of [[man]] appeared. This is the time usually designated as the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pliocene Pliocene].
