The Anthropocene Solution

Their foundation lies within a group of like-minded individuals that bonded together in 2013 around the words of Sir David Attenborough, the famed British naturalist, “We are a plague on the Earth."  

Through the years this group has morphed and became more radical in thought and action.  When the US Government created the Department of Habitation Expansion (DoHE) in the 2060's, the group was quick to infiltrate and start gathering information.  After the DoHE scientists were successful in generating human animal hybrids that were able to live comfortably in territory that was considered difficult to inhabit,  the group made its move. 

Bolstered by both scientists and volunteer test subjects, the group started creating its own different variants of the genetic mutations, and create a solution to the perceived plague.  Working with their best scientific minds,  they created an airborne virus that attacks only living creatures with pure human DNA. This virus kills the infected by rapid swelling of the brain and spinal cord. 

The virus was released simultaneously in travel centers across the globe on May 1, 2079 during a North American total solar eclipse. This date was announced as an homage to both the gene 2079 that was crucial in making of the weapon, and the little remembered pagan Beltane celebration in “humanity's darkest hour.”  After the release and ensuing chaos, some humans embraced the animal mutations to survive, while others clung to the hope of a cure. Within one year, it was believed that only those carrying genetic animal mutations had survived, marking a pivotal turn in THE ANTHROPOCENE SOLUTION'S radical vision to reshape humanity's future on Earth.
