War's Aftermath A Preliminary Study of the Eugenics of War as Illustrated by the Civil War of the United States and the Late Wars in T

War's Aftermath is a book written by David Starr Jordan in 1914. In this book, the author presents a preliminary study of the eugenics of war as illustrated by the Civil War of the United States and the late wars in the Balkans. The book explores the impact of war on the genetic makeup of a population and how it can shape the future of a nation. Jordan argues that war can have both positive and negative effects on a population's genetic health. On the one hand, war can eliminate weaker individuals and promote the survival of the fittest. On the other hand, it can also lead to the spread of genetic disorders and the loss of valuable genetic diversity. The author uses examples from the Civil War and the Balkan Wars to illustrate his points and to provide insights into the eugenics of war. Overall, War's Aftermath is a thought-provoking book that explores the complex relationship between war and genetics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
