The Anthropocene (人類世, 人新世) is a proposed epoch that begins when human activities started to have a significant global impact on Earth's geology and ecosystems.
Neither the International Commission on Stratigraphy nor the International Union of Geological Sciences has yet officially approved the term as a recognized subdivision of geological time, although the Working Group on the Anthropocene (WGA) have voted to formally designate the epoch Anthropocene and present the recommendation to the International Geological Congress on 29 August 2016.

... started from around 1800 (Mobile Lives, 2010, p. 154)
The Holocene (全新世) is the geological epoch that began after the Pleistocene (更新世, 從2,588,000年前到11,700年前) at approximately 9,700 BCE. ...
The Holocene also encompasses the growth and impacts of the human species worldwide, including all its written history, development of major civilizations, and overall significant transition toward urban living in the present.
Human impacts on modern-era Earth and its ecosystems may be considered of global significance for future evolution of living species, including approximately synchronous lithospheric evidence, or more recently atmospheric evidence of human impacts.
Given these, a new term, Anthropocene, is specifically proposed and used informally only for the very latest part of modern history involving significant human impact. (wikipedia)
