What does it mean that the earth has entered the human world? What is the Anthropocene? According to the report of nature on May 21, the authoritative scientific research group 'human world working group' recently voted to recognize that the earth has entered a new geological era - the human world.
This decision is an important step towards formalizing a new chapter in geological records. The working group plans to submit a formal proposal to the international stratigraphic Commission in 2021. If adopted, the history book may be rewritten.
The Anthropocene refers to the recent history of the earth. It has been the Quaternary since 2.6 million years ago. The Quaternary is divided into two epochs, the Pleistocene and the Holocene.
The scientific community divides the geological age from large to small by using the names of Zhou, Dai, Ji and Shi. It is generally believed that we are now in the Phanerozoic Cenozoic quaternary Holocene, which began about 11700 years ago. " The Anthropocene Working Group believes that due to the great impact of human activities, the Holocene has ended and the Anthropocene has begun.
Will & middot, Australian National University; Professor Stephen once said: "dinosaurs are the most famous in Jurassic. The Holocene is the era when human civilization began to develop, and the characteristic of the Anthropocene is that human beings have left a wide influence on the earth."
Rivers on earth have created wonderful works of art. Rivers have been flowing back and forth for tens of thousands of years.
