About this listen
Dr. Julia Adeney Thomas, a professor of History at Notre Dame, is part of a group that is working to rename the current epoch in the history of the earth to "Anthropocene." The "anthro" label suggests that the literal structure of the earth and its biosphere have been changed by human behaviors.
The proposition for the new name comes with objections.
How did Dr. Thomas, born in Abingdon, Virginia, and a professor of history come to the forefront of a controversial earth science question?
Scientific thought is the subject. Details in this episode of This Conversation.
