Abstract:	The recent rejection of the "Anthropocene Series/Epoch," as proposed by the Anthropocene Working Group (AWG), by the International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS) and the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS), has reopened discussion about the Anthropocene as a geological event. This event has been referred to as the "Anthropocene Event" (AE) or the "Anthropogenic Modification Episode" (AME). This essay briefly discusses these terms and concepts, and proposed to use new terms such as "Earth System Humanization Event" (ESHE) or "Global Humanization Event" (GHE), which are more specific and terminologically more consistent with the already defined geological events.
