''War’s Aftermath'' is a book written by David Starr Jordan, which was first published in 1914. The book provides a preliminary study of the eugenics of war, as illustrated by the Civil War of the United States and the late wars in the Balkans. The author explores the impact of war on the human population, particularly on the genetic makeup of the people involved in the conflict. He argues that war has a significant effect on the quality of the human race, as it often results in the death or injury of the strongest and most capable individuals, leaving weaker and less capable individuals to reproduce and pass on their genes. Jordan’s study draws on historical examples to illustrate his arguments, examining the impact of the American Civil War and the Balkan Wars of the early 20th century. He discusses the role of eugenics in war, and the ways in which governments have attempted to shape the genetic makeup of their populations through military service and other policies. Overall, ''War’s Aftermath'' is a thought-provoking exploration of the complex relationship between war and human genetics. It raises important questions about the long-term effects of conflict on human populations, and the ethical implications of attempts to manipulate human genetics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
