That some men are naturally be
tor fighters than others is doubtlei
true, just as it is true that some ca
run better or write better poetry. Bi
can wo classify races in the san
way? May we assert that the Frenc
as a people are better fighters thu
the British, or vice versa? Good at
thorilies seem to differ, we are to)
in The Journal of Heredity (Was!
ington). It is hard to tell, here i
elsewhere, what abilities are inbot
and what are due to training or edi
cation. Besides this, we are assure*
no adequate scientific studies hn\
ever been made on the comparativ
fighting ability of different races. Tli
"warring instinct," or gregarioi
group-instinct, is something qui1
apart from any desire to fight sing
handed, to quarrel with one's neigl
bors, to go about with a chip on one
shoulders, or to start trouble out <
nothing. The most polite and peaci
fui mortals may make the best so
diets under the stimulus of grou]
conflict. The writer goes on:
"The readiness of nearly all pei
pies to respond to this group-instim
for war is not difficult to explain o
gr lunds of heredity. Mankind lu
been devoting presumably half of i
time to warfare, so that any tvouj
lacking that instinctive tie that bint
so marvelously one to all would. 1

groups! Or. in other words. thoi
groups, compounded in the patriot
mold, with a maximum display <
1 ravory and individual self-sacrific
would survive as such, and in t!
long run oxtentilnate less close
formed aggregates.
"The disposition to act in a qua
relsome manner, to fight single-ham
cd. to murder, or to disturb the lia
mony of the social order represents
type of man that lias been a "ten up<
by natural selection in precisely tl
opposite way. Ever since human b
ings have lived in settled commun
ties. pe tons of this sort hav bet
seized upon l?v society and sununari
dealt with, so that to a great extei
these types have been eliminated.
"The willingness, and indeed e
thusiasm, with which so many n
tions entered into the recent gre
war. as soon as the gregarious i
stinct reached a certain point of eo
tagion. would seem to indicate tl
general or widespread distribute
of the warrimr imnulse. The conn

ous se'.f-saorifice that have re.ichi
us from all quarters might give tl
Impression that all people are equa
ly brave and that there is little di
ference in the value of the tightii
ability of different races.
