Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book takes a naturalist's perspective on the improvement of humanity. The author argues that, historically, only chance events such as brutal conflicts have acted as selection pressures leading to the survival of the fittest. However, the advent of compassion and social welfare has eroded this mechanism, leading to the propagation of undesirable traits. The author proposes the careful selection of mates based on desirable physical and mental attributes as a means to improve the future of the race. The author also examines the corrupting influence of wealth and social status on this goal, arguing that the pursuit of wealth and luxury often leads to moral decay. This challenge to conventional wisdom will be of interest to anyone concerned with the future of humanity and is a timely wake-up call to the urgent need to address the implications of human evolution. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330678565_0
