Excerpt from War and the Breed the Relation of War to the Downfall of Nations The term Organic Evolution applies to the orderly changes which are now taking place, or which have in the past taken place in living forms, from generation to generation. In this movement the natural history Of humanity, its divergence into species, races and strains, forms ari integral part. For man is part and parcel of nature, governed by the same laws of birth, growth and development as the higher animals, laws shared in their degree by our other brother organisms, the plants, as well. Life in its endless movement we may perhaps liken to a great river, flowing continuously, dividing at times into smaller streams, purifying itself as it flows along and dropping to the bottom its silt and mud.

By David Starr Jordan, former chancellor of Stanford University, who concluded that World War I was destroying the finest elements of European youth, eliminating them before they could pass on their genes to another generation ¿ and thereby irreparably damaging the genetic quality of the population. His heart-wrenching text is illustrated with a selection of photographs of young officers killed in the First World War while he was actually writing his book, who left few or no children behind them. His work is prophetic in that the fiercely selective genetic losses of the finest and bravest in World War II added to the enormous losses in World War I. The loss of so many young and unmarried pilots and air crew, for example, is clearly reflected in the lower caliber of the overall present-day population of most European countries, and has contributed to the decline of Europe into its current of economic and cultural decadence.
