Excerpt from The Human Harvest: A Study of the Decay of Races Through the Survival of the Unfit HE human harvest was bad! I Thus the historian sums up the conditions in Rome in the days of the good emperor Marcus Aurelius. By this he meant that while population and wealth were increasing, manhood had failed.
