Unique among all creatures, further to the increase in its cranial
volume from Australopithecus to Homo sapiens, the use of tools and
cultural and scientific creativity, the genus Homo is distinguished
by the mastery of fire, which since about two million years ago has
become its blueprint. Through the Holocene and culminating in the
Anthropocene, the burning of much of the terrestrial vegetation,
excavation and combustion of fossil carbon from up to 420 million
years-old biospheres, are leading to a global oxidation event on a
geological scale, a rise in entropy in nature and the sixth mass
extinction of species.
