The Blood of the Nation

""The Blood of the Nation: A Study of the Decay of Races Through the Survival of the Unfit"" is a book written by David Starr Jordan in 1903. The book explores the idea of eugenics, the study of improving the human race through selective breeding, and argues that certain races are more fit than others. Jordan asserts that the survival of the unfit is leading to the decay of races, and that the only way to prevent this is through the selective breeding of those deemed fit. The book is controversial and has been criticized for its racist and discriminatory views. Despite this, it was influential in shaping the eugenics movement in the United States and Europe in the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
