Humanity has become a geological force

The Anthropocene is a geologic chronological term that and serves to mark the evidence and extent of human activities that have had a significant global impact on the Earth’s ecosystems. It follows on the Holocene and Pleistocene. We have entered the Anthropocene epoch, in which humanity and its instrumentalities are the most potent and influential geological force. Most available sunlight and soil goes for crops. The ever-increasing tonnage of human flesh outweighs all other wild mammals. Nature become a subset of culture, rather than vice versa.
