Anthroposphere
Changed to improve accuracy and citations. (NB the technosphere differs from the anthroposphere, they are not equivalent - I am proposing a new technosphere page to better clarify this. I could not find any evidence that Suess used the term 'Anthroposphere' - he coined the term 'Biosphere', but think it's incorrect that he also used Anthroposphere. I have also added a more recent quantification of the anthropomass.)

Last Glacial Period
→Origin and definition: Altered a confusing and partly incorrect discussion of the vaguely defined term 'ice age', and changed the end date from the overly precise 11,700 (this is the boundary of the Younger Dryas) to the less precise 10,000 (more fitting for the end of the vaguely defined 'glacial')
