Inhabitant's Special Series: The Anthropocene Issue is a mini-series of videos about the Anthropocene, filmed during the Anthropocene Campus at the House of World Cultures in Berlin, bringing together more than 100 participants from different fields.

c. 10,000 B.C. marks the agreed dating of the beginning of the Agricultural Revolution. In a seminar room at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin, a group debates whether to date the beginning of the Anthropocene to the Agricultural Revolution, the Industrial Revolution, or the Nuclear Age, as well as the concept of the Technosphere, whereby technology has become a transformative force alongside the bio-, the hydro-, and the atmosphere, and its impact on the coevolution of society, nature, and mankind, during the two day seminar "Technosphere / Coevolution."

The seminar was led by:

Armin Reller (professor for Resource Strategy in Augsburg, Germany)
Jürgen Renn (director at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin)

Manfred D. Laubichler (president and professor of theoretical biology and history of biology at Arizona State University - ASU)

Dr. Jan Zalasiewicz (geologist and professor at the University of Leicester, UK, and chair of the Anthropocene Working Group of the International Commission on Stratigraphy)

and Peter K. Haff (geologist and professor of Geology and Civil and Environmental Engineering in the Division of Earth and Ocean Sciences and in the Nicholas School of the Environment at Duke University, North Carolina).
