Abstract: Humanities efforts to exist in nature have brought man from being a part of the ecosystem to the point ofshaping nature. This struggle of humanity undoubtedly causes destruction at different scales in nature. Traces ofthis destruction are recorded by geological processes. Negative environmental changes caused by human effectson nature are called anthropogenic pollution today. The beginning of the most serious scientific studies to describethe permanent traces of man on nature dates back to the mid-19th century. However, this awareness is known tobe much older, especially in the works of ancient Greek and Roman philosophers and writers. Many researchersargue that with the introduction of scientific methods to investigate these effects, the Holocene should be separatedfrom the Anthropocene with a time boundary as a new geological series. Although this theory was mentioned manytimes in the 19th century, it was later forgotten. It returned to the agenda since the early 2000s and its popularity has increased. After the suggestion of this time-boundary separation, scientific studies about the existence and thebeginning of the Anthropocene have considerably increased, and it has become a multidisciplinary issue discussedby many researchers. There are two main factors that need to be addressed in order to clarify and elaborate theconcepts of anthropogene and Anthropocene in the future. These are; (1) problems in setting standards for measuringanthropogenic effects especially geogenic and the steps to be taken to solve this, and (2) the necessity to producestudies that can be supported by absolute age data rather than conceptual discussion of the temporal separationof the Anthropocene. Scientific studies in different regions where these elements are taken in consideration willundoubtedly reveal the extent of the anthropogenic effect and the temporal separation of the Anthropocene boundaryin a much more realistic manner.
