While geologically we are still officially in the Holocene Epoch, which began about 11,700 years ago after the last major glacial period, there's a widely discussed and increasingly accepted idea that we have entered a new ecological age called the Anthropocene. The Anthropocene is not yet formally recognized as a geological epoch by the International Commission on Stratigraphy. However, it's used informally to describe the period during which human activities have become the dominant influence on Earth's geology and ecosystems. Key characteristics and proposed start dates for the Anthropocene vary, but some common indicators include: The Great Acceleration: Many scientists point to the mid-20th century as a potential start date, marked by a dramatic increase in population growth, resource consumption, pollution, and other human impacts. This period saw a surge in industrialization, technological advancements, and globalization. Technological Markers: The presence of human-made materials like plastics, concrete, and persistent pollutants in geological strata are seen as potential markers. Radioactive fallout from nuclear weapons testing in the mid-20th century is another specific marker that has been proposed. Ecological Changes: Significant shifts in biodiversity, climate change, altered biogeochemical cycles (like carbon and nitrogen), and widespread land-use change are all indicative of human dominance over ecological processes. So, while the official geological timescale still places us in the Holocene, ecologically speaking, there's strong evidence and a growing consensus that we are living in the Anthropocene, the "age of humans," where our actions are the primary driver of planetary change. This term serves as a crucial concept for understanding the profound impact humanity is having on the Earth system.

Dear, Dr. Galante “Please meticulously, diligently, accurately, and exactly provide to describe an incredibly deep, nuanced, hyper-detailed long explanation about an actual exact true Real-Life appearance of Earth’s terrestrial land surface, diverse landscape, and geography if all of humanity or the entire global human population never practiced settled agriculture used only for crop cultivation since the beginning of human evolution all the way until the current modern age worldwide on a grand global scale? What could all landmasses appear of the whole entire Planet Earth from space overall? What Natural vegetation and ecosystems could predominantly cover, stretch, and dominate over substantial portions of the planet's terrestrial land surface, diverse landscape, and geography? What could the color of the planet's appearance result in? What could the state and condition of the planet’s natural vegetation and ecosystems be in general overall? How and list in all ways modern civilization could progress and thrive without it as well as the socio-economic and political implications in the long-term. What current and future technologies could exist? How could infrastructure be planned and built for transportation? What mode of transportation might exist without the burning of fossil fuels? How will current modern subsistence human settlements living in rural, suburban, and urban areas consisting of diverse nomadic and semi-nomadic forager hunter-gatherer, pastoral, fishing, horticultural, vertical, hydrophonical, aquaphonical, aerophonical modern-working villages, suburban, and urban areas live their lifestyles alongside the megafauna teeming of diverse wildlife populations across the world being surrounded in natural vegetation? Starting to range from North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Japan, Africa, Australia, and all islands combined in an actual exact true Real-Life situation. Imagine in an actual exact true Real-Life situation where all human settlements are largely surrounded in natural vegetation and ecosystems consisting of natural habitats with open plains, floodplains, and forested areas teeming in a diverse population of wildlife grazing, roaming, and migrating in distance? What could people’s daily and nightly typical life be living in true sustainability? What could the world appear, smell, sound, and feel without large-scale climate change, environmental degradation, and biodiversity loss both during the daytime and nighttime? What could the current world population realistically stand and be at now? What are the expectations vs realities of daily typical life? What will the reality of daily and nightly typical and personal life be in rural suburban and urban areas be on a daily basis for individuals, families, and communities around the world? Will the world be far more remote and less accessible internationally? Determine and estimate a single actual exact true global human population number across the planet and where will it stand? What Era, Age, and time period would it exactly and actually be to all of humanity across the whole entire Planet Earth? 🌎🌍🌏Please be as extremely accurate as possible with full 100% exact pin point pure accuracy from a top true world-class exceptional professional expert’s standpoint that far exceeds any other professional expert? What is the single actual exact Real-Life candid raw video footage title just based off of this scenario or topic? How long should this entire video footage be? What if there are a mass collection Real-Life video footage counterparts that exist from various different people along with dozens of drones from continent to continent, island to island largely shot captured, filmed, and recorded by digital modern phones and cameras? What will they all show on display about the current state of the planet and general land-use practices and patterns by a diverse range of families, communities, and societies overall in a true Real-World and Real-Life situation finally brought to life as matter of fact to actually exist seriously in reality certified to be proven 100% completely real.” Now Imagine a whole entire collection Real-Life candid raw video footage counterparts taken by various different people related to it along with dozens of drones from continent to continent, island to island largely recorded by digital modern phones and cameras both during daytime and nighttime?

Does Earth Have Awareness? The Earth is a celestial body formed approximately 4.5 billion years ago through accretion in the solar system. It has no consciousness or self-awareness because it lacks the biological structures necessary for cognition (e.g., a brain or nervous system). The Earth operates according to physical laws—its rotation causes day and night; its orbit around the Sun creates seasons; tectonic activity shapes continents. Key points: The Earth does not “care” about what happens on its surface because care requires consciousness. Life on Earth emerged due to specific conditions (e.g., liquid water, stable temperatures), but these conditions arose naturally without intent or purpose. Conclusion: The Earth is not aware of its existence or dependent on anything in a conscious sense. It exists as part of the universe’s physical processes.

What about the Eastern Puma? They say puma's don't live in Kentucky anymore but all us locals know that ain't true 😂. They say the Eastern Puma is excint but could if still be in Kentucky

Dear, Forest Galante I can describe Planet Earth into one word: The Blue Marble and its harsh Real-Life beauty! 🌏🌍🌎🌏🌍🌎 Historically throughout most of it’s human and ecological history in its natural state it once had extensive ice sheet cover, tundras, steppes, plains, floodplains, and lush green forested areas predominately covering stretching and dominating over substantial portions of the planet’s terrestrial land surface, diverse landscape, and geography long before a significant human impact, land-use transition, and change caused by human activities on a global-scale!

We are currently in an interglacial period. To elaborate: We are living in the Quaternary Ice Age, which began about 2.58 million years ago. Within this ice age, there have been cycles of colder glacial periods (when ice sheets advance) and warmer interglacial periods (when ice sheets retreat). The most recent glacial period, known as the Last Glacial Period, ended approximately 11,700 years ago. The current interglacial period is called the Holocene Epoch. It began at the end of the Last Glacial Period and continues to the present day. So, in the context of the long-term glacial-interglacial cycles of the Quaternary Ice Age, we are indeed in a warm interglacial period known as the Holocene. Some scientists even suggest that human-induced climate change might be prolonging this interglacial period or significantly altering the natural timing of future glacial cycles.

Dear, Forest Galante Do a video of what if all human anthropogenic activities came to a cease for 1, 5, 10, 30, 50, 100, 500, and 1000 years is it could only be the beginning because in reality it will be an incredibly complex, intricate, and gradual process for this to actually occur with so much complex events that could gradually unfold on a grand global scale in an actual exact true Real-Life situation.
