核心要点
Welcome to the Age of Humans
Stand at the edge of a Himalayan village and watch an elderly engineer divert winter streams into carefully constructed stone channels. Travel to the Maldives and witness government ministers holding a Cabinet meeting underwater, dressed in business suits and scuba gear. Journey through the Amazon and meet a grandmother who survived a caiman attack while fighting to save the rainforest. These aren't scenes from science fiction-they're snapshots of our planet right now, in what scientists call the Anthropocene: the Age of Humans. For 4.5 billion years, Earth has been shaped by asteroids, volcanoes, and the slow dance of continental plates. Life emerged, evolved, and gradually transformed the planet's chemistry and landscapes. Then humans appeared-a mere 200,000 years ago-and everything changed. We've become a geological force as powerful as any asteroid, leaving fingerprints in rock layers that future scientists will study just as we examine dinosaur fossils today. We fly without wings, survive killer diseases, and even leave our planet to visit the moon. We've altered atmospheric chemistry, rerouted rivers, and triggered mass extinctions. The evidence is undeniable: atmospheric CO2 levels 50% higher than natural, melting glaciers, acidifying oceans, spreading deserts. We're not just living on Earth anymore-we're remaking it.
