A paper on this concept by Jan Zalasiewicz (YAHN zah-la-SHEV-eech) argued that a recent global stratigraphic signature demonstrated its existence. Eugene Stoermer is credited with coining the word for this concept, which was popularized by Paul Crutzen. A January 2015 report proposed that the Trinity test be regarded as the start of this time period. A recommendation to formally declare this time period was proposed in 2016 to the International Geological Congress. This time period, if approved, would be characterized by a drop in biodiversity, a spread of many species to new habitats, and a marked increase in global CO2 levels. For 10 points, name this proposed geological epoch that represents the geological influence of humanity.
