Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the concept of military selection, particularly in the context of Roman history. The author demonstrates how the Roman Empire fell due to reversed selection, a situation where the strongest and healthiest men were sent to war, leaving the weaker and more vulnerable behind to reproduce. This phenomenon, also seen in other nations and throughout history, has a profound impact on a civilization's gene pool, leading to a decline in overall health and vitality. The book delves into the role of war, social institutions, and cultural values in shaping human evolution, providing a thought-provoking analysis of the interplay between biology and history.
