War and Eugenics Debate in Napoleonic Era Reflections
A controversial essay argues that prolonged warfare lowered European and French stature through generational harm. It cites Supith College measurements showing daughters larger than mothers and features quotes from Herbert Walter and David Starr Jordan on war’s impact on germplasm, intelligence, and future national strength. It attributes American leadership in brain power to wartime selection and discusses future implications for generations in Europe and America.
