This narrative serves to link geologic history with human history, and with a speculative vision of humanity\u2019s future. The stages are essentially chapters in the story of humanity\u2019s origin, current challenges, and future. The tone in this Anthropocene narrative is more hopeful than dystopian because our emerging global society needs a positive model of the future.","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/3635\/files\/2020\/07\/fig-1-1-691x1024.jpg"}
