Letters : Coudenhove-Kalergi - a man and his vision for europe

Parents and ancestors of farmers usually come from the same, sparsely populated area , the nobles from the same small upper class.

In both cases, the ancestors are mutually related by blood and therefore mostly physically, mentally, spiritually similar. 

Consequently, they pass on their common traits and there is a tendency for will, passions, prejudices, inhibitions to occur at heightened levels in their children and descendants. 

The traits that result from this inbreeding are loyalty, filial piety, a sense of family, caste, resistance, stubbornness, energy, narrowness , power of prejudice, lack of objectivity, narrowness of the horizon.

Here there is no variation from the previous generation but simply its repetition . conservation takes the place of development

In hybrid families the children differ strongly from each other: each forms a new variation of divergent parental and ancestral elements.    

Man will be hybrid in the distant future. Today's races and castes are increasingly falling victim to the fact that space, time and Prejudice are being overcome.

The Eurasian-Negroid race of the future, outwardly similar to the ancient Egyptian, will replace the diversity of peoples with a variety of personalities
