Summary When people settled down in the Neolithic Age to practiced farming and cattle breeding, they started a process that changed the face of the world once and for all. Today, satellite images allow us to have a literally global view of the consequences of human activity: Agricultural areas cover large parts of the earth's surface with geometric patterns, megacities grow over seemingly endless surfaces, roads wind their way through high mountains and deserts. The so-called "technosphere", the man-made things, now weighs more than all animals and plants. Statistically, around 50 kilograms of human work weigh on every square meter of the planet. And the world's population is growing and growing.
