Definition
The current geological age, viewed as the period during which human activity has been the dominant influence on climate and the environment.
Etymology
From Greek 'anthropos' (human) + 'kainos' (new/recent). Proposed by chemist Paul Crutzen in 2000. The age when humans became a geological force as powerful as volcanoes and asteroids.
Kelly Says
We changed the planet SO much that geologists want to name a whole ERA after us! Humans are now a force of nature — like volcanoes and ice ages, but with credit cards. It's flattering AND terrifying! ðŸŒðŸ—ï¸
