Say, for 3-5 centuries we conduct several local or not so local wars, add few Civil wars and/or revolutions (US, Russia, China), then append with 2 global wars in a span of half-century, culling men who are (for the lack of better definition) “the first out of trenches at the ‘attack’ signal”?

For example: <>

What traits got diminished?

Any research on it?

The proto-Indo-Europeans tamed the horse and invented the cart, then conquered most of the world.
