    Zalasiewicz and his co-authors propose a new term for such underground disturbances: anthroturbation. The name derives from the word bioturbation, which refers to the kind of trace left behind in the Earth by animals such as ants or wolves when they dig their homes. Humans take this kind of disturbance to a much deeper level.

    I figure if you're going to refer to ants and wolves as animals causing bioturbination, like a worm to an apple, we humans are animals too and the term bioturbination suits us just as well.
