known as 'the era of human society' is over, will it now?

Given 'geologic timescales', I'm inclined to call what the planet is going through an 'event', but once we wipe ourselves all out in the next 100 years or so, it won't matter one whit what we decided to call it.

Won't be any 'intelligent species' around to 'read about it' for probably another hundred million years or so ...
