Excerpt from The Human Harvest: A Study of the Decay of Races Through the Survival of the Unfit
By this he meant that while population and wealth were increasing, manhood had failed. There were men enough in the streets of Rome, men enough in the camps, men enough in the menial labor or in no labor at all, but of good soldiers there were too few. Vir had given place to homo, Roman men to mere human beings. For the business of the state, which in those days was mainly war, the men were inadequate.
In the recognition of this condition we touch the overshadowing fact in the history of Europe, the effect of military selection on the breed of men. This lesson, in such fashion as I may, I Shall try to set forth in these pages.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines how military selection has shaped the human race throughout history. The author argues that warfare favors the survival of the strong and courageous, leading to a decline in the overall strength of a population as the strongest and bravest are repeatedly killed in battle. The author supports this thesis with examples from ancient Rome, where the rise of a standing army led to a decline in the population's size and strength, and from modern-day France, where the author argues that the nation's military losses in World War I have led to a decline in the average height and physical strength of its citizens. The author concludes that warfare is a destructive force that weakens populations and ultimately leads to their decline.
