Description

Do humans deserve to have an epoch named for them? On the one hand, we have irreparably changed the course of evolution. On the other hand, should things continue on their current trajectory, human civilisation may not be around long enough to read as more than a blip on the fossil record. So, is Anthropocene the right name for the geologic period we are in?
