Hi,
Our impact on Earth is now so significant that we should declare an entirely distinct geological epoch - the Anthropocene - according to the Working Group on the Anthropocene (WGA).

The group of experts presented the recommendation to the International Geological Congress on Monday 29 August, drawing on a study published in Science in January. The majority of the group have voted to formally designate the Anthropocene and recommend that its start date should be around the 1950s.

“Being able to pinpoint an interval of time is saying something about how we have had an incredible impact on the environment of our planet,” Dr Colin Waters, principal geologist at the British Geological Survey and WGA secretary, told The Guardian.

What is an epoch?

Please help.
Thanks!
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
