We're changing the planet faster than any other species in Earth's history. What does this mean for our future?
Over the last 10,000 years, humans have domesticated plants and animals, tapped into fossil fuels, and connected our global population through trade. These actions have helped our species flourish -- but they also change the climate and transform the ecosystems we depend on.
The fossil record reveals what happened during earlier periods of dramatic change. By exploring Earth's past, we can understand the changes happening now and learn how our choices shape our future. |
