Population changes have taken place since the dawn of time. From the movement of the first Homo Sapien-Sapiens who moved out of Africa population change has occurred. As mankind moved to northern latitudes they had to evolve. Skin and eyes started to lighten; in order for man to survive in the colder climates. At the same time with limited light available ways to obtain vitamin D also changed. Men in the lower latitudes obtained these necessary nutrients from the sunlight and conversely the men in the north had to consume dairy products to obtain the same vitamins necessary to sustain life. In later centuries new civilizations would establish civilizations; very advanced cultures took root. Overpopulation in the north coupled with threats from other groups of humans the men of the northern latitude eventually were forced to the southwest, in the region of the Black Sea then to what would become Europe. This civilization we now know as the Roman Empire. After years of comfort, the empire became decadent and started to weaken. These civilized men started to sublet their military duty to the men from the north whom they called Barbarians; in their condescending ways. It was only a matter of time until the Civilized men became effeminate and abolished their compulsory military service. It did not take long for the unthinkable to occur: the Barbarians finally took over not only the Military but theGovernment. The so-called civilized men awakened from their slumber, but it was too late. In their desire to protect their weak and useless Emperorthey lost sight of their enemy and their boundary; called the limes was broken. This narrative is about one who crossed the boundary. The man mentioned in the former sentence was one of the fathers of the new nations of Europe. I write this in a time of similar troubles as another population shift is in-process. I dedicate this volume to the men who allowed us the sixteen hundred years of hegemony that will soon come to an end. As the western world repeats the mistakes of the Romans.Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it George Santayana.
