Episode Synopsis

The Cretaceous period ended 65 million years ago as did the reign of the dinosaurs. According to the International Union of Geological Sciences, we are currently in the Holocene. The Holocene has seen a number of changes. It's seen us cultivate the land, store food, and build long standing shelters. It's also seen us craft tools to shape the world around us. Some scientists have proposed calling this era the Anthropocene.
