Abstract

Human is the only race that has the propensity to dominate and domesticate non-humans. Due to this attitude, a new era is introduced on earth called Anthropocene. Anthropocene is responsible for the climate crisis, environmental degradation, extinction of species of animals and plants and many other unforeseen changes to ecology and eco-system of the earth. Sudden changes in environmental temperature rise in sea level, cyclones, droughts, earthquake, and covid-19 can be attributed to anthropogenic activities and hence there is urgent need to counter of ecological crises. To understand the origin of the Anthropocene, it is required to understand the changes in human culture, values and practices during Renaissance Humanism, Industrial Revolution, Colonialism, World Wars, Capitalism and Neo-liberal economy.
