(_Rev. d’Eth._, p. 301) says that the Ghiliaks do not marry until
between twenty and twenty-five years old. The Aetas of the province of
Cagayan have to pass a bow and arrow shooting test before marriage
(Blumentritt, _Z. G. E._, vol. xxvii, p. 65). The custom of wrestling
for wives has been recorded for various races (Lubbock, _Primitive

The beginnings of this custom are found among the Fuegians. Darwin
says that ‘when they find a stranded whale, they bury large portions

There is some evidence that miscarriages are not uncommon among these
races (for Australia see Grey, loc. cit., vol. ii, p. 249, and for the
Loucheux Indians see Hardisty, loc. cit., p. 312). If this is so, it
would appear also to be due to changed conditions to which primitive
races had not learnt to adapt themselves—there being no advantages in
their so doing.

barbarous people but such as commonly will not marry, or generate,
except they know means to live (as is almost everywhere at this day
except Tartary) there is no danger of inundations of people. But when
there be great shoals of people which go on to populate, without
foreseeing means of life and sustentation, it is of necessity that
once in an age or two they discharge a portion of their people upon
other nations’ (_Essay on the Vicissitude of Things_).
Footnote 1488:
These remarks also apply to those cases in which countries at times
appear to be empty. Attention is, for example, sometimes drawn to the
fact that England appears to have been an ‘empty’ country in the
Middle Ages. The emptiness is only apparent. Relative to the available
skill and all other relevant circumstances England was fully populated
in the Middle Ages; the tendency was rather towards over- than
under-population.
Footnote 1489:
Except perhaps in the case of the so-called Irish migration to America
after the famine in the middle of the last century. Without doubt,
however, there was in this migration a large political element—the
nature of which is referred to below. Further there were many peculiar
features in the position, and the migration was scarcely a migration
in the broad historical sense.

Footnote 1502:
Evidence has lately been brought forward to show that not only is war
a custom but also that it is a custom of relatively late origin
(Perry, ‘Ethnological Study of Warfare’, _Mem. and Proc. Man. Lit. and
Phil. Soc._, vol. lxi). It is suggested that it is bound up with
organization under kings and chiefs, and that it was introduced at a
more or less definite time by a certain race. The evidence adduced
would seem not to be adequate. The theory belongs to a series of
attempts to show that very many customs and social institutions now
widespread evolved in some one centre and spread thence. Though
Professor Elliot Smith and his school may with justice insist on the
fact that the multiple origin of similar customs has been too lightly
assumed, it is equally unreasonable to insist upon tracing all similar
customs and institutions to the same source. Those who are acquainted
with the numerous and wonderful examples of convergence in the animal
kingdom—the independent evolution of tracheae in the Arachnids and in
the Insects, to take only one example—will have little difficulty in
accepting the view that, in response to similar environmental
conditions, similar customs may from time to time have been
independently evolved. Other authors have urged that the apparent
absence of weapons among the cultural remains of early races is
evidence that they did not practise warfare (Havelock Ellis,
_Philosophy of Conflict_, p. 49). But when so much doubt surrounds the
question as to how the most common implements were used, it is
dangerous to attribute much weight to this argument.
Footnote 1503:
It has been remarked that those countries which began the war were on
the whole the countries with the highest birth-rate. The conclusion
has been drawn that pressure of population brings about war. On the
same lines as above, this conclusion may be shown to be unacceptable.

Mr. J. A. Hobson’s opinion, which is in conformity with that of the

evidence that the world’s population is outrunning the natural
resources; but on the contrary the presumption is that for their
fuller utilization a larger population is necessary and thereby could
be maintained with a higher standard of living’ (_The Declining
Birth-rate_, p. 75).

the wheat-eating population of the world increased less rapidly in the

the beginning of this period there were 283 people (more or less
wheat-eaters) for every hundred acres of wheat, whereas in 1906 there
were 264 such people for the same area (_Agricultural Statistics_, Cd.
3832, vol. xvi, part 4).

France 38
Italy 23
Austria-Hungary 21

The figures are only approximate. The most accurate—those for the
United Kingdom and for Australia—are not likely to be inaccurate to a
greater extent than 10 per cent., while the least accurate—those for
Japan—may be inaccurate to a greater extent than 40 per cent.
Rowntree, commenting upon the low wages in Belgium as compared with
England, attributes them, not to over-population, but to a low
standard of education, low degree of efficiency and productivity, to
the fact that only a small proportion of workers are engaged in the
production of high-class goods, and to the feebleness of the trade
unions (_Land and Labour_, pp. 75 ff.).

Personally I agree with the views of the Dean of St. Paul’s on this
matter. Speaking of the use of these methods, ‘it seems’, he says, ‘a
_pis aller_ which high-minded persons should avoid if they can
practise self-restraint. Whatever injures the feeling of
“sanctification and honour” with which St. Paul bids us regard these
intimacies of life, whatever tends to profane or degrade the
sacraments of wedded love, is so far an evil. But this is emphatically
a matter in which every man and woman must judge for themselves, and
must refrain from judging others’ (_Outspoken Essays_, p. 74).

It is also noticeable in India (Wattal, loc. cit., p. 24). It will be
remembered that in Denmark in the latter part of the mediaeval period
there was some slight tendency according to Rubin for marriage to be
postponed among the very highest social class; among the independent
class generally marriage in those days, however, not only took place
earlier than now but earlier than in the lower grades of society.
Footnote 1525:
Among the industrial classes conception before marriage is not
uncommon. It is said that many men are not desirous of legal marriage
until it is probable that they will have children. This is not to be
regarded as evidence of loose sexual morality so much as evidence of
foresight and of thought for old age when, if they have children, they
will be more or less secure against extreme poverty.

Hill, _Am. Stat. Ass._, vol. xiii, p. 590. An allied problem is that
connected with the proportion of various racial elements among the

Britain contributed roughly one-third and the United States and
continental Europe two-thirds of the immigrants into Canada.

Footnote 1593:
The ‘Ancestral Law of Heredity’, which attributes on the average half
the germinal constitution to the parents, a quarter to the
grandparents, an eighth to the great-grandparents, and so on, is not
incompatible with Mendelian inheritance as a general statistical
result. The conception of the nature of inheritance involved in this
theory is, however, incompatible with the Mendelian conception of
unit-characters, which conception, it may be said, is the only one
which fits the facts.
Footnote 1594:
The fact that the germinal constitution of any one individual
belonging to a species, in which biparental reproduction is taking
place, differs almost always from that of any other member of the
species is due on the Mendelian hypothesis to the chance mixture of
factors in the zygote.

There has been much discussion as to the effect upon the population of
France owing to the Napoleonic wars. The facts have been summed up by
Havelock Ellis (_Essays in War Time_, pp. 33 ff.), and it appears that
without any question the average physical constitution of the French
was lowered; most kinds of infirmities, for instance, became more
frequent.

Recent research bearing on this problem has been summed up by East and
Jones in their book _Inbreeding and Outbreeding_.

Dublin and Baker, _Amer. Stat. Soc._, vol. xvii, 1920. Nevertheless,
as shown by an important memoir by Hrdlicka, a new variety is not
being produced, at least with any rapidity, under the influence of the
American environment. Hrdlicka studied representatives of the old
white American stock, whose ancestors had been for four generations in
the United States, and concluded that no new sub-type has yet emerged.
In fact the faithful preservation of the traits of the original
immigrants is the outstanding result of the study.

There is a tendency to exaggerate the importance of tradition among
animals. Thus it has been said that nest building is ‘largely’
traditional among birds. But the Curator of Birds in the New York
Zoological Park raised a number of wild birds from incubated eggs, and
found that these birds, although they had never had parental care or
example, nevertheless learnt to fly, to build nests, and to perform
all these activities—though they were sometimes slower in so doing
than they would otherwise have been—that are at times said to be
‘largely’ traditional (see Lull, _Organic Evolution_, p. 170).

Footnote 1675:
Wild oxen were abundant in Europe in the time of Julius Caesar, and of
them the Chillingham herd may be a remnant. Horses were abundant in
Europe in Neolithic times. But it is probable that both oxen and
horses were first domesticated in Asia. The ovine group was originally
situated in the mountain region of Central Asia, though _Ovis
savigni_, apparently allied to the Argoli, has been found fossil in
the Forest Bed of Norfolk (Flower and Lydekker, loc. cit., pp. 355,
357, 367, and 382).

As, for instance, by Renan in the following passage which contains
nevertheless an element of truth: ‘La guerre est, de la sorte, une des

s’endormir, en forçant la médiocrité satisfaite d’elle-même à sortir
de son apathie. L’homme n’est soutenu que par l’effort et la lutte....

n’ayant plus d’ennemis extérieurs serait le jour où la moralité et
l’intelligence courraient les plus grands dangers’ (_Réforme

Wallas, _Great Society_, p. 80. ‘In a settled and traditional society
custom is of such overwhelming weight that a law can only act in

passed save those that the development of tradition demands’ (Belloc,

investigation to students of these matters as indicating that the
investigation was not undertaken with any bias (a condition of things
unfortunately not common in studies of this problem).
