CARTA presents, “Human Origins & Humanity’s Future: Past, Present & Future of the Anthropocene”

CARTA public symposia typically begin by emphasizing that the primary goal of Anthropogeny is to explore and understand where we humans came from, and how we got here. Consequently, we usually limit discussion of current-day implications, and the question of where we are going as a species. This time we will focus on the long and short-term impact of humans on the planet that we inhabit, and the consequences for the future of our species. This also gives us the opportunity to celebrate the memory of the late Paul Crutzen, who coined the term “Anthropocene”. It is relevant to ask how a single species evolved the capacity to completely alter the surface of an entire planet and dominate its governing environmental and ecological processes. This symposium will bring together experts regarding human impact on the planet and also address the current and future implications for our species.

Presented by The Center for Academic Research and Training in Anthropogeny (CARTA), an UC San Diego ORU. This FREE and online-only, public symposium begins Saturday, March 05, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. (Pacific), with LIVE Discussion and Q&A at 12:50 p.m. (Pacific). Funding for this symposium was provided by many generous CARTA donors with additional support from CARTA Friends Robert Stavros and Robert Mashman; and CARTA Supporters Carrie Steinbach and Sasa Neuman. Closed captioning for the recordings was made possible by CARTA Patrons Ingrid Benirschke-Perkins & Gordon Perkins.
