A huge part of evolution is knowing all the ages, epochs, periods, eras, eons, and supereons.
I guess we're currently in the Holocene epoch, which has just begun.
To date there have been three named ages of the Holocene epoch, most recent to oldest: Meghalayan; Northgrippian; and, Greenlandian.
Now, we have entered the fourth age. This is quite incredible. This might be one of the longest single blog posts I have ever seen. It is incredible. I hope it never disappears behind a paywall or lost entirely some other way. Link here.
It's a keeper.
The fourth age of the Holocene epoch, the Age of Shibboliths.
Shibbolithic /ʃɪbəlˈiθik/ n.
: the current geological age, regarded as the first of the Anthropocene epoch and distinguished by the hegemony of unconvincing impostors in the scholarly and scientific academies.
