Recently, I found out about the relation between Global Warming and the Age of Anthropocene for a school project. I learned about the cradle of mankind, the timeline of human evolution, and how this has led to the current state of our environment. The conclusion that Global Warming is happening, eminent , and what this means for the future of survival of our species was fascinating. I related this to the ancient cultures I had visited - from Africa, South America, Europe, Asia, and Polynesia.

Some of the indigenous cultures could trace their roots prior to the Age of Anthropocene. What they shared in common was a love and respect for nature and sensitivity about our environment. What is very different in pre-Anthropocene mindset is the way society treats and raises children, women , and modern technology and medical research. While the Industrial Revolution and advances in farming have led to technological and medical advances, conducive to advancing women in the workplace , and a prolonged childhood phase or delayed adolescense, it's fascinating how this is slowly destroying the environment and potentially causing a cataclysmic event that could impact the species as a whole!
