anthropogenous

Anthropogenous refers to something that is caused, produced, or influenced by humans. The term is derived from the Greek words "anthropos," meaning human, and "genesis," meaning origin or creation. It is often used in environmental science, ecology, and other fields to describe phenomena that are a result of human activities. For example, anthropogenous climate change refers to the changes in the Earth's climate that are primarily caused by human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation. Anthropogenous pollution, on the other hand, refers to pollution that is caused by human activities, such as industrial processes, agricultural runoff, and waste disposal. The term is also used in the context of cultural and social studies to describe human-made artifacts, practices, and systems.
