The Noosphere can be seen as the "sphere of human thought" being derived from the Greek `nous' meaning `mind' in the style of 'atmosphere' and 'biosphere'.

History of this expression:

E. LeRoy's Les origines humaines et l'evolution de l'intelligence (1928)

Vladimir I. Vernadsky (1863-1945)

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881-1955)
