Further to the post that humans rule the earth, geologists have now cottoned on to the trend of world domination by the human race and have declared a new geological epoch termed the Anthropocene.
Quoting NASA’s earth observatory the researchers “suggest humans have so changed the Earth that on the planet the Holocene epoch has ended and we have entered a new epoch - the Anthropocene. They have identified human impact through phenomena such as:
- Transformed patterns of sediment erosion and deposition worldwide
- Major disturbances to the carbon cycle and global temperature
- Wholesale changes to the world’s plants and animals
- Ocean acidification”
Now all that is missing is the declaration of humans as a new species, using our newfound characteristics of highly aggressive appropriation of natural resources as a basis, and our metamorphosis will be complete.
