In your point of view as a senior high
school STEM student, how greatly do men
cause Earth to change? Does it signify the
start of a new epoch?

Human overpopulation (or population overshoot) is a state in which there are too many people for the environment to sustain (with food, drinkable water, breathable air, etc.). In more scientific terms, there is overshoot when the ecological footprint of a human population in a geographical area exceeds that place's carrying capacity, damaging the environment faster than it can be repaired by nature, potentially leading to an ecological and societal collapse. Overpopulation could apply to the population of a specific region, or to world population as a whole.
Human overpopulation (also known as population overshoot) occurs when there are more people than the ecosystem can support (with food, drinkable water, breathable air, etc.). In more technical words, overshoot occurs when a human population's ecological footprint in a geographic region exceeds that area's carrying capacity, causing environmental damage faster than nature can restore it and potentially leading to ecological and social collapse. Overpopulation can refer to the population of a single location or the entire world's population.
