do you have earth scale measures for this? what is your threshold for drastic?

on most measures I can think of, earth is pretty much the same as it was 100k years ago. maybe you are suggesting humans have a drastic impact on other species on earth?

Geologically it is the same, a stone is a stone, true that. The creatures on it, both plants as well as animals, changed drastically by human intervention.

We change(d) the atmosphere, from pollutants to CO2 levels.
