Abstract
The unprecedented levels of human influence on the global enviroment have drawn the attention of scientists to the extent that in 2002, the Nobel Laureate, Paul Crutzen, helped in postulating a new geological epoch named the Anthropocene (Crutzen, 2002). This idea is not new and Crutzen describes an observation by an Italian geologist named Antonio Stoppani who, in 1873, spoke about an 'anthropozoic era'. Stoppani described this era as a 'new telluric force which in power and universality may be compared to the greater forces of earth' (Stoppani, 1873 in Crutzen, 2002).
