These two sources discuss the potential for future megafauna and the origins of the Anthropocene epoch. Svenning examines how past megafauna extinctions can provide historical context for envisioning wilder futures under climate change. Yusoff analyzes how the concept of the Anthropocene emerged and questions the assumptions behind naming a new geological epoch after humans.
