The 11,700-year-old Holocene epoch is over. We're now living in the Anthropocene epoch.
长达11700年的全新世结束啦。我们如今正生活在“人类世”纪元。
编者注:全新世(Holocene Epoch),是最年轻的地质年代,它与更新世(Pleistocene Epoch)的界限以第四纪最后一次冰期结束,气候转暖为标志,因此又称为冰后期(post-glacial)。从距今1.2万~1万年开始到现在,是人类正在经历的地球历史阶段。
You don’t need to be paying much attention to the world around you to know that humans are having a massive influence on the planet, but our influence is now on the way to being officially recognised in geologic terms.
无需劳神费力,我们都能感受到人类对地球产生的巨大影响。如今,地质学界打算用地质术语来确认这些影响。
The 11,700-year-old geological Holocene epoch has ended, scientists say, and we’re now living in the Anthropocene: an era defined by humanity’s influence on the world around us.
科学家表示,长达11700年的全新世已结束,我们现在正生活在“人类世”:即人类活动对地球施加影响的时代。
In fact, unless you’re over the age of 66, you’ve always been living in it. A 35-strong team of international researchers from the Working Group on the Anthropocene voted 30-3 (two were absent) in favour of the epoch shift, and the starting date is 1950.
