The resistance of the anti-Anthropocene geologists is futile. The term is now in such common use that a small committee vote is of no consequence.
Forget about precise starting points. The beginning of the Holocene cannot be pinpointed to a specific year, and the same goes for the Anthropocene. When it comes to deep time, there will always be a degree of arbitrariness.
Abstract: Current models of early human subsistence economies suggest a focus on large mammal hunting. To evaluate this hypothesis, we examine human bone stable isotope chemistry of 24 individuals from the early Holocene sites of Wilamaya Patjxa (9.0–8.7 cal. ka) and Soro Mik’aya Patjxa (8.0–6.5 cal. ka) located at 3800...
"Earth is now well outside of the safe operating space for humanity," says report in journal Science Advances. This update of planetary boundaries framework may serve as renewed wake-up call to humankind that Earth is in danger of leaving its #Holocene-like state. It may also contribute to guiding substantial human opportunities for sustainable development
@eniko Much obfuscatory fuckery. Trouble is:- humans have only evolved to deal with problems under their noses while rolling in the environing bounty of a gracious #Holocene climatic cradle and a resource-rich planet. Understanding the stern challenge of the #Anthropocene will take a leap of faith in science, education and our human fellows. Our religious dogmas and most of the media are completely out of their moral depths.
J'ai découvert le hashtag #pouetradio je vais donc l'utiliser en association avec mon hashtag personnel #incpamoasears pour récapituler ce que j'ai posté jusqu'ici :)
Je continuerai dorénavant sous ce pouet pour en faire un fil :)
Stable isotope chemistry reveals plant-dominant diet among early foragers on the Andean Altiplano, 9.0–6.5 cal. ka (9,000 to 6,500 years ago) (doi.org)
