just wondered how many of our esteemed Charlton Life colleagues had heard of it?

I certainly hadn't until I caught the TV show pointless tonight.

    No! It sounds like the title of an episode of The Big Bang!

    Yep! Heard of it, and could have placed it within a million year accuracy (ie it's very recent).

    I have due to studying Geography. Otherwise I'd be as clueless as the rest.

    it bothers me that so much of our plant and animal population could be extinct in 25 years.

    why can't we halt mans over populating the planet at such a fast rate. do something like they did in china, 1 kid per family for a couple of decades and stop exhausting the earth by take take taking all the time.

    Yep, me too. Although my studying was in 84/85. Biggest surprise of the Holocene Epoch is that I can actually remember my Geography A from 30 years ago! :-(

    I did geology 'A' level and at the time could remember all the geological periods via a mnemonic. Now I can't even remember the mnemonic!

    If you want to (do anything other than) cheer yourself up, take a look through the posts on Reddit's Overpopulation thread...

    I'm glad there are people out there truly concerned at overpopulation but the first page made me want to cry.
