ABSTRACT
The growth of knowledge has naturally modified and enriched the expression of man's innate endowments. Religion, philosophy, and the social sciences sharpen his awareness of the fact that he is related to other men and to the rest of creation. The wide range of possibilities offered to human life by sociocultural evolution accounts for the fact that all utopias have been stillborn or have soon disintegrated and vanished. Modern cities, especially the American urban megalopolis, are becoming a nightmare because they increasingly fail to provide a satisfactory environment for the unchangeable requirements of man's biological nature and for his cultural evolution. A multiplicity of direct human contacts is one of the factors requisite for the normal development of the mind and for emotional equilibrium. In addition to the science of things, scientists must create a science of humanity, if they want the intellectual implications and practical applications of their efforts to be successfully woven into the fabric of modern life.
