 Welcome to the Anthropocene course of the BAPI School. I hope to see many of you at this course. The Anthropocene course will look at the relationship between human beings and the environment. And especially we are going to look at when human beings, societies, became a geological agent that really modified all the earth's system and ended up in creating the earth as we know it today. The course will look at the theoretical aspect of the Anthropocene, but also it will bring together the data from archaeology and history to understand how we can support the Anthropocene theory and how we can look at the future and try to construct a more resilient future for our societies.
