Response to Damianos—Anthropocene angst
Damianos provides his views on the significance of the March 2024 decision by the International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS) to reject the proposal of the Anthropocene Working Group (AWG), the body we represent, to formalize the Anthropocene as a series/epoch of the Geological Time Scale. He draws upon ‘four years of ethnographic observation’ of the AWG, over which time this body provided him with access to its meetings and discussions. Given…
Ad Astra per aquam (to the stars, through water)
Groundwater supplies are dwindling worldwide as the Anthropocene deepens and human-water systems become more tightly coupled. Key actors are searching for ways to augment water supplies, including by large-scale transport. In this context, the role of human culture - values, beliefs, norms, symbols, language - is becoming even more important as a driver of socio-ecological change. We explore the role of culture in coupled, human-water systems thr…
Evidence and experiment
Together with research teams from around the world, the Anthropocene Working Group (AWG) has been meticulously quantifying and scrutinizing the global stratigraphic imprint of human activities, the results of which are gathered in this thematic collection of papers in The Anthropocene Review. How can such empirical research, which so impressively articulates the end of a relatively stable Earth System in the mid-20th century, inform our ways of u…
Emic and Unfamiliar Category Sorting of Mano Farmers and U.S. Undergraduates
Mano farmers of Liberia, West Africa, and U.S. undergraduate men were tested on a rice-sorting task appropriate to the Mano cultural setting and an analogous card-sorting task appropriate to the U.S. cultural setting. U.S. Ss performed more card sorts than Mano Ss, while Mano Ss performed more rice sorts than U.S. Ss. A larger drop in performance level was associated with the use of an unfamiliar, as compared to an emic-or culturally appropriate-…
