Geddes (1915), included a scheme of cities that included "patholopolis." Because spectacular growth and invasiveness are outstanding characteristics of the human population, the similarity of the human species to a cancerous process comes readily to mind, especially to a physician.
As seen by astronauts and photographed from space by satellites, millions of manmade patterns on the land surface of Earth resemble nothing so much as the skin conditions of cancer patients. The transformation of the natural contours of the land into the geometric patterns of farm fields, the straightening of meandering rivers into canal-like channels, and the logging of forests into checkerboard clearcuts all have their counterparts in the loss of normal skin markings in cancer victims.
Any of various malignant neoplasms characterized by the proliferation of anaplastic cells that tend to invade surrounding tissue and metastasize to new body sites.

cancer

Still waiting for one person who has actually read this book to post here.
EDIT: Awesome, you have 'Deny Ignorance' as your avatar. Have you dispelled any ignorance today, or encouraged it? What facts are you armed with in you battle against ignorance today?

Stupid people shouldn't be allowed to breed. It's messing up the gene pool. If we still lived in nature stupid people would die.
But we don't Humans civilized itself and so we let absolute morons not only live, but breed too.
Hell we even elect them to public office!

Joking (slightly) aside, you guys really do show your ignorance when it comes to genetics. There is no guarantee a stupid person will have a stupid baby or that a smart person will have a smart one. Furthermore, there are many other factors to consider when gauging the fitness of the gene pool. Some fairly dim people are really great folks and some really smart people are complete jackasses.
