While the earth gives off its own electromagnetic waves as it orbits the sun. Between the ionosphere and the earth's surface, there is a constant resonance is called the Shuman Resonance and exists at a frequency of 8hz in the ELF band range. It is impossible to quantify the effect that this may have on humans.
However, the population on earth is rapidly approaching the number of neurons in the brain. Douglas Rushkoff proposes that the consciousness of the earth may be awakened when all creatures of the earth become connected and resonate at the same frequency. The evolution of this network would then follow a neural model - a single network connected by synapses.
