  1. Eon > Era > Period (unless you're talking about my ex's) > Epoch We're currently in: The Phanerozoic Eon (the past 541-million years) - this is the Eon in which abundant plant and animal life exists. The Cenozoic Era (the past 65-million years) - this is the Era in which mammals are abundant, started when a mass extinction occurred. The Quaternary Period (the past 3-million years) - this is the Period featuring modern animal life and significant climate change including continental ice sheets. The Holocene Epoch (the past 12-thousand years) - this is the Epoch that includes the current "warm period" which began after the last Ice Age. Note that there is no evidence, one way or the other, to either support or refute the Holocene Epoch being a "resting period" between Ice Ages, or a permanent end to the previous Ice Age. All of the above is what you'll read in textbooks. --- Now, however: "The Anthropocene - Hard Evidence for a Human-Driven Earth" on sciencedaily.com You've probably never heard of the Anthropocene, and that's because it's a newly discovered geological Epoch that *we're in right now* - in other words, the Holocene Epoch might be over. The characteristics of the Anthropocene Epoch, which seems to have started after World War II, are the preponderance of materials such as aluminum, concrete, plastic, fly ash, and nuclear fallout. For the sake of your great-grandchildren, you can hope that the worst-case scenario won't happen, but it's already happening. At this point, I'd like nothing more than to offer you a solution, so here goes: Pray, and hope there's a God, because if there isn't, we're fucked. I'm going to back up this website onto external storage, and pay someone to shoot it into outer space.
