Answer:

Another term that is sometimes used is the Anthropocene Epoch because its primary characteristic is the global changes caused by human activity. -Scientists argue that we have entered a new era, distinct from the Holocene epoch (began 12,000 years ago). ... Human demand now outstrips the ecosystems supply.
