The term "Anthropocene" is a neologism which spread like wildfire and became a global success. The reason this term is finding such notoriety in scientific circlesas much in Earth sciences as in the humanities and social sciences, amongst militant ecologists as well as in the media, is because it is inextricably bound up with the existence of each and every one of us. The Anthropocene is a new geological epoch resulting from the impact of human activity on the whole Earth system.
