Human beings play a crucial and more prominent role in the management and utilisation of the various ecosystems and their resources than any other species. As such, human beings are at the forefront of all changes occurring within the world, especially in regards to the natural world. Human activity has caused significant changes to the climate through increased global warming over the century. Agreeably, the title of geological agency is now fully attained by humankind, as we have the power to provoke another great extinction of various species. However, human beings have realised the scale of impact they have on the world and are now attempting to ensure their geological agency ability impacts positively on the planet. As such, global research needs to take a different direction and analyse human history from the point they occurred on the earth rather than from their recorded history to better understand human geological agency.
