Note 219 — Chapter VII · THE GODS AND THE SONS OF GOD

See Taylor, op. cit., pp. 197–198: “Mixed races are not so common as is sometimes supposed.... It is alleged that in the case of conquest, when two races are diverse, or when the environment favours one race more than the other, it is found that the offspring are infertile, or that there is a tendency to revert to one of the parent types.”... See also p. 203: “When two distinct races are in contact they may, under certain circumstances, mix their blood, but the tendency, as a rule, is to revert to the character of that race which is either superior in numbers, prepotent in physical energy, or which conforms best to the environment.”
