You'll find "anthropized" used (390 ghits), but I've yet to see it used by a native English speaker.

CONT – Man has been a long time in
Crete: the first colonists are believed
to have arrived six to five thousand
years before Christ, and so many
plants have had time to adapt to the
prepotent presence of the newcomer.
Most of these are herbs, above all
annuals; that is, plants with a short
life cycle that have succeeded in
adapting to the frequent changes
imposed by man on the environment.
The plants linked to anthropized
environments, called ruderal species,
can be found along the roadsides, in
the archaeological sites, in waste
land, and in cultivated fields. Source

OBS – anthropization: The actions of
man that aim at transformation and
alteration of the territory to adapt it to
serve his interests and needs. Source

DEF – Se dit d'un biotope, d'un
écosystème ou d'une végétation
ayant fortement subi l'action
humaine. Source

OBS – Ex. Milieux cultivés ou
rudéraux. Source

I personally would use "cultivated", but for whatever it is worth,see below:

The word is 'anthropose' and it refers to the way we design things in the form of the human body; or that the genes that build our anatomy also create the ideas that manifest into the world we create around us; chairs, tables, building...and civilization in general. It's the human organism expanding from the microcosm to the macrocosm, and this is what the word 'anthropose' refers to.

I'm not familiar with Rupert Sheldrake's theory of morphic resonance, but it certainly sounds like it's in the same ballpark.
