"Biological Analogies in History" by Theodore Roosevelt is a thought-provoking lecture analyzing history through the lens of biology. It looks at the growth and decline of societies much like the evolution and extinction of species. Comparing humans with biological organisms in their growth, specialization, and potential decline, Roosevelt uses examples like ancient Rome, Holland, and South America to suggest that nations transform rather than disappear entirely. Highlighting the need for strength, good character, and a strong sense of right and wrong to keep a nation healthy, it warns against taking periods of success for granted.
