الصفحة 381 - ... the more powerful the influence of natural selection becomes. But today in many parts of the world natural selection is working at a terrific havoc. In China millions of people die each decade from famine and cold ; or from diseases that are directly traceable to prolonged undernourishment and cold. "It needs no demonstration to show that the first effect of a Chinese* famine is to kill the people who are physically weak. Any organic disease is almost sure to be intensified and ultimately to...

الصفحة 369 - ... there should be as much uniformity as our maps indicate. Despite all the overturns, the ups and downs of three thousand years of recorded history and an unknown age precedent to it, it is wonderful to observe how thoroughly all foreign ethnic elements have been melted down into the general population. The political unification of all Italy; the rapid' extension of means of communication : and, above all, the growth of great city populations constantly recruited from the rural districts; will...
الصفحة 370 - Europe to tend to produce literary men and another part artists. The distribution of people who attain eminence in religion and philosophy is equally puzzling. What common factor causes the Nordic Scotch and the Alpine Swiss to have a very strong religious tendency, while the Nordic Swedes and the Alpine Belgians have a minimum interest in religion?
