![port of the position. Just as the flowering of the culture peoples was a function of a superior racial stock, so their decadence followed upon their miscegenation and the dilution or extinction of the white racial elements. The racial intermixture with the Negroes, brought into the Egyptian population as servile laborers, marked the beginning of the end of a great people. The mongrelized descendants were unable to advance or even to maintain the culture status, and Egypt disappeared from the family of culture nations. Greek immigra¬ tion, resulting in intermixture with inferior and servile groups and the sterility of superior family lines, increased the relative numbers and dominance of the hybrid and inferior strains and so brought racial and culture decline. Rome is a repetition of the story of Egypt and of Greece. The original stock was corrupted by racial intermixture and the mongrelized group lacked the capacity to per¬ petuate the culture. The brilliant culture of the Renaissance was followed by an era of chaos because the “caste lines protecting the Teutonic aristocracy from blood contamination were broken down.” The cultural distribution of the modern world is made to tell the same story. The mixed nations are the backward ones. The Mexican population is a hybridized Indian group, superior to the native Indian perhaps, but inferior to the Spanish that mingled its blood with that of the native women. nil]](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b29809617_0023.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
