Race in Ancient Greece by Roger Pearson

Race in Ancient Greece
by ROGER PEARSON
Last month we published an article, “The Fall of Ancient Rome”: this month’s article is on similar lines. Here Roger Pearson follows the exposition of Professor Dr. Hans F. K. Gunther to show how the decline of Greece resulted from miscegenation, and a decline in the quality of the people. As Lycurgus said: “Athens fell from want of Athenians.” This is an extract from the booklet entitled Early Civilizations of the Nordic Races available from THE NOONTIDE PRESS.

Article #2:

Sir Arthur Keith discusses “Code of Amity” the most important aspect of human nature.

Human Nature and Government by Sir Arthur Keith

The main purpose of this essay is to expound the thesis that a primitive group of humanity is governed by the action and reaction of those inborn mental qualities which are known collectively as “human nature.” Nay, my thesis is somewhat more ambitious than I have stated, for I am persuaded that human nature not only supplies the means of group government, but that it has been so evolved as to govern the evolutionary destiny of human groups. What do I mean by “evolutionary destiny”? It is a trite saying that the object of a man’s existence is to develop all the potentialities and latent powers that are within him. The student of evolution seeks to explain the existence of a primitive group of humanity in a parallel manner; its chief end is to bring to light the hidden potentialities of its germ-plasm. To do that the group must remain intact and separate, not for one generation, but for an infinity of generations. Human nature is constituted so as to control and regulate the affairs of a group, not only for a generation, but so as to secure its perpetuation over an infinity of generations. In brief, I am to maintain that politics-the art of regulating and controlling the conduct of a community-is part of the machinery of evolution.
