The Human Harvest: A Study of the Decay of Races Through the Survival of the Unfit (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover
Synopsis
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.
