Anthropocene: Have humans created a new geological age?

From the BBC

"Over the last 11,700 years - an epoch that geologists call the Holocene - climate has remained remarkably stable.

This allowed humans to plan ahead, inventing agriculture, cities, communication networks and new forms of energy."

Isn't this just short-termism and Human ego though? Previous epochs lasted millions of years, because of us we need to change one after a few thousand years?
