Mammoths, Sabertooths, and Hominids: 65 Million Years of Mammalian Evolution in Europe is a book written by Jordi Agustí and illustrated by Mauricio Antón. It was first published in 2002 by Columbia University Press.

The book is a journey through {{mya|65|million years}} of palaeontological records, from the extinction of the dinosaurs to just before present. Notwithstanding the title, the book includes the complex evolutionary records of most continents within its pages – thoroughfully described by Agustí and breathtakingly illustrated by Antón.

Agustí and Antón provide a broad overview of the Tertiary history of mammals in Europe: the evolutionary changes within the European fauna as well as the fates of immigrant taxa that arrived from other continents.{{Cite journal | doi = 10.1126/science.1073295 | last1 = Flannery | first1 = T. | title = PALEONTOLOGY: Mammals on the European Stage | journal = Science | volume = 297 | issue = 5578 | pages = 57–58 | year = 2002| s2cid = 83683888 }}
