Ever wonder what happened to the Spartans? They died out as a race pretty quickly, firstly because the Persian Wars and Peloponnesion War of the 5th Centruy B.C. critically reduced their male population. What finally killed them off was their constitutional 'pure blood' laws forbidding foreigners to become Spartan citizens or for Spartans to marry and have children by foreigners. Their genetic bloodline simply died out through a lack of eligible citizens of child bearing age/abilty to progenate the race.
