The Anthropocene

There's debate on whether we're in the Holocene or the Anthropocene. There's a lot of evidence pointing to the direction of the Anthropocene, because we are in a stage where our human actions are affecting the environment worthy or a new era. We used to be hunters and gatherers, where we moved wherever out food moved, then we discovered agriculture and the act of farming and staying in one place. This made humans change the land itself. In the 1700s to 1800s we discovered fossil fuels and that was the initial stage of the Anthropocene. After World War 2 in 1950, we started to develop everything and that's when everything rose. The Greenhouse gases, the transportation, the communication, infrastructure and everything. I agree that we're currently living in the Anthropocene because of all the significant changes we humans caused on this planet. In the TED talk, he mentioned how every change in an era happened because of a biological difference, and I completely agree. The dinosaurs' death ended an era and humans going from hunters and gatherers to farmers also changed that, now we're in an even different era where our presence causes a lot of damage on our planet.
