"The author was an influential peace apostle. In this work, "Novicow attacked supposedly Darwinian doctrines that considered 'collective homicide' as the mainspring of progress, and het exposed the economic, moral and biological waste of War, he maintained, has always caused negative selection: it was the fit and brave who had always gone off to fight and die on the battlefield, while it was the cowardly, sick and deformed who were left behind to propagate. Novicow's 'scienfic pacifism' became virtually the orthodoxy of German and French peace movements in the pre-1914 years..."
