The Blood of the Nation: A Study of the Decay of Races Through the Survival of the Unfit (1903) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781165072637)

The Blood of the Nation is a book written by David Starr Jordan in 1903. The book is a study of the decay of races through the survival of the unfit. Jordan argues that the survival of the unfit, or those who are weaker and less fit for survival, leads to the decline of a nation's bloodline. He believes that the strong and fit should be the ones to survive and reproduce, while the weak and unfit should not. Jordan examines the history of various races and civilizations, including the ancient Greeks and Romans, and argues that their decline was due to the survival of the unfit. He also looks at the impact of immigration on a nation's bloodline and argues that allowing immigrants who are weaker and less fit to enter a country will lead to the decline of the nation's bloodline. The book is controversial and has been criticized for its promotion of eugenics, the belief in improving the genetic quality of the human population through selective breeding. However, it is also considered an important work in the history of eugenics and the study of race and genetics. Overall, The Blood of the Nation is a thought-provoking and controversial book that examines the impact of the survival of the unfit on a nation's bloodline and the decline of races and civilizations throughout history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
