If we have indeed entered a new epoch, then when exactly did it begin? When did human impacts rise to the level of geologic significance?
如果我們確實(shí)邁進(jìn)了新的世，那麼是什麼時(shí)候開(kāi)始的，什麼時(shí)候人類(lèi)的影響會(huì)達(dá)到地質(zhì)學(xué)重要意義的程度？
It’s a new name for a new geologic epoch—one defined by our own massive impact on the planet. That mark will endure in the geologic record long after our cities have crumbled.
