    The book, 6th extinction would also be a good resource that delves into the effects humankind have had on the geological record.

    Yep, local extinctions, particularly of large mammals is nigh on a sure sign modern humans moved into an new region. We don't see that we pre modern humans at all. They seemed to hit a predator/prey/population size equilibrium pretty rapidly and extinctions don't occur.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.
