Resumen

La reciente propuesta de una nueva era geológica denominada Antropoceno a partir del año 1950, en donde el Homo sapiens es el principal actor le ha dado a las ciencias humanas y sociales la posibilidad de discutir y contribuir en su adecuada definición, más allá del golden spike que se pueda emplear. Nuestro interés es mostrar que estamos frente a un proceso que arranca, quizás, hace 10.000-8.000 años y que los humanos, a través de nuestra capacidad de generar rápidamente nuevos nichos en diferentes dimensiones espacio temporales, hemos ido incrementado su aceleración con el paso del tiempo.
