The term Anthropocene refers to the current geological epoch, which is proposed to have begun when human activities started to have a significant impact on the Earth's ecosystems and geology, such as the Industrial Revolution. It is characterized by rapid changes in the atmosphere, landscape, and biodiversity as a result of human actions. The Holocene is the current geological epoch, but it began before human activities became a significant force for change. Homosapien refers to the species of modern humans, not a geological epoch. The Neogene is a geological period that ended approximately 2.6 million years ago.
