Rolston asks about (1) Earth as a wonderland planet, about (2) humans as the wonder of wonders on Earth. He continues (3) wondering about Anthropocene humans and their efforts to build a (4) managed planet bringing about the end of nature. He worries that this is (5) Anthropocene arrogance, and recommends, instead that these (6) wonderful humans should consider themselves incarnate on and caring for their wonderland Earth.
