Anthropocene refers to the current geological era in the way it will be clearly distinguishable from the previous ones to a future observer, because of human impact on the planet (due to the way we transformed landscapes, atmosphere, and waters, and due to the artificial materials we created, like plastic). More generically, however, Anthropocene refers to what will be left of us. Us as in humans of this current culture. In the near-to-far future we either evolve into something different (culturally, primarily) and so will the planet, or just disappear. In both cases, what we’ve done and what we’re doing will leave a permanent mark on Earth, a mark that has been called Anthropocene. By Luca Rossini.
