The moon may enter a new geological period thanks to human activity

Some evolutionist think that humanity’s influence on the moon is so great that we should define a new geological epoch, just as we are doing on Earth with the creation of the Anthropocene, researchers argue. We should also create lunar “national parks” to preserve areas for scientific study, they say.

“The Anthropocene is the name given to the epoch in which humans began having a significant impact on Earth’s geology and ecosystems. The definition is still being agreed upon, but most researchers suggest Earth entered this period in 1950, marked by the presence of plutonium isotopes from nuclear weapons tests in sediment at the bottom of a relatively untouched lake in Canada.”
