quote:If an industrial civilization had existed on Earth many millions of years prior to our own era, what traces would it have left and would they be detectable today? We summarize the likely geological fingerprint of the Anthropocene, and demonstrate that while clear, it will not differ greatly in many respects from other known events in the geological record. We then propose tests that could plausibly distinguish an industrial cause from an otherwise naturally occurring climate event. https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2018/04/are-we-earths-only-civilization/557180/ https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.03748 Pretty cool poo poo to think about. Did the lizard civilization survive the asteroid collision? Do they still exist? Are they influencing our civilization? And what the hell do they look like?
