a cephalic disorder in which the prosencephalon (the forebrain of the embryo) fails to develop into two hemispheres. Normally, the forebrain is formed and the face begins to develop in the fifth and sixth weeks of human pregnancy. Hox genes, which guide placement of embryonic structures, fail to activate along the midline of the head, allowing structures that are normally paired on the left and right to merge. (The condition also occurs in other species, as with Cy, the Cyclops kitten.)

The most severe of the facial defects (or anomalies) is cyclopia, an abnormality characterized by the development of a single eye, located in the area normally occupied by the root of the nose, and a missing nose or a nose in the form of a proboscis (a tubular appendage) located above the eye. The condition is also referred to as cyclocephaly or synophthalmia and is very rare.

From wikipedia.

I agree, severe birth defects are very sad. :(

I think it's photoshoppus scammus

Wasn't that one in the nsfw wtf thread?

There's lots of medical photographs of cyclops babies, you can find them easily on the 'net. It's legit.

Found on a temple doorway in Inner Mongolia

Mmm... Mongolian long pig...

:eek: As seen here. But wait, there's backstory.

Heh. This is my life, right here. I used to have a very inviting child, myself. ;)

The book won the Delta Kappa Gamma Society International Educator’s Award and the Award for Extraordinary Achievement from the Institute of Neuro-Physiological Psychology when it was published in 1987.

It's an award-winning, completely understandable, possibly useful book -- but good lord, they need to fire their editor! Who picked that title!?

I like the fact that the kid on the cover actually looks like he just got punched in the side of the face. That is some stellar marketing, right there.

I'm sure the morally outraged would pick this book up in a flash, then discover it's true content and decide to buy it so they can brag to all their friends about how clever they are.
