War's Aftermath is a book written by David Starr Jordan and published in 1914. The book is a preliminary study of the eugenics of war, which explores the impact of war on the genetic makeup of a population. The author examines two major conflicts, the Civil War in the United States and the wars in the Balkans, to illustrate his theories.Jordan argues that war has a significant impact on the genetic composition of a population, as it tends to eliminate the weakest members and leave the strongest to reproduce. He also explores the idea that war can lead to the spread of genetic traits that are beneficial in a military context, such as aggression and bravery.The book is divided into three sections. The first section provides an overview of eugenics and the role of war in shaping the genetic makeup of a population. The second section focuses on the Civil War and its impact on the genetic composition of the United States. The third section examines the wars in the Balkans and their effect on the genetic makeup of the region.Overall, War's Aftermath is a thought-provoking study of the relationship between war and eugenics. While some of the author's ideas may be controversial, the book provides valuable insights into the impact of war on human populations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
