Rival of the potent agents of the internal world, man undoes what nature has done. Nature
has worked for centuries at agglomerating in the bowels of the earth oxides and metallic
salts; and man, tearing them out of the earth, reduces them to native metals in the heat of his
furnaces. In vain you would look for a single atom of native iron in the earth: already its
surface is enclosed, one could say, within a web of iron, while iron cities are born from
man’s yards and float on the sea. How much of the earth’s surface by now disappears under
the masses that man built as his abode, his pleasure and his defense, on plains, on hills, on
the seashores and lakeshores, as on the highest peaks! By now the ancient earth disappears
under the relics of man or of his industry. You can already count a series of strata, where
you can read the history of human generations, as before you could read in the amassed
bottom of the seas the history of ancient faunas
-Antonio Stoppani Corso di Geologia (1873),
