What time period do humans currently live in?

Humans currently live in the Anthropocene epoch, a term used to describe the significant impact of human activity on the Earth's geology and ecosystems. This period is characterized by climate change, biodiversity loss, and environmental degradation. While the exact starting point of the Anthropocene is debated, it is commonly associated with the Industrial Revolution in the late 18th century or the mid-20th century with the Great Acceleration.
