 Atlantis possible source of Cro-Magnon invasions
The late Dr. Carleton S. Coon of Harvard University wrote: "Despite the general homogeneity of Upper Paleolithic Man, these two groups, the western and the eastern, may be shown to have differed from each other in certain well-defined ways." (Coon, 1939) In other words, "western" Cro-Magnon Man differs from all the other "eastern" types.
According to Coon (1939), Briggs (1955) and others Type A is essentially the same as the European Combe Capelle: and as would be expected, Type A's origin is in the east, whereas the more robust type de Mechta (Type D) exhibits a definite "western" orientation, and his sites "thin out" toward the east.

Coon's theory as he expounds it in this book was that Caucasoids, Mongoloids, Negroids and Australoids and their phenotypes evolved from Homo Erectus populations living in Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia.
Coon also hints that Negroids and Australoids may have developed the least from their Erectus ancestors than Mongoloids and Caucasoids.
Most of the other observations on evolution and anatomy made by Coon in this book are still valid and are remarkably well thought out in spite of the fact that all the man had to work with were bones and carbon-dating.

 Reply to Morey's Moon-god Myth
Whereas, for example, Professor Coon's last statement is supportive of the fact that Allâh is not a Moon-god but rather "the Supreme Being," Morey's placement of it within his own text will convince a less than careful reader that Coon agrees with Morey's Moon-god-in-Islam theory.
When he claimed that the title of the Moon-god was "al-ilah" he quoted Coon in his support as saying that "Il or Ilah" was originally a phase of the Moon God.

 The New York Review of Books: PREJUDICE
Although my criticism of Professor Coon's photographs was exaggerated in its condensation, the point I made is one which I would adhere to.
Since the book is concerned with physical anthropology in a strict sense, that is with human beings as physical animals unmodified by culture, the only fair kind of visual comparison would be a set of posed photographs in which the individuals concerned are in the nude with similar haircuts and posed in similar positions.
Professor Coon himself would not support such an argument; nevertheless by exhibiting photographs in which "Congoids" are naked while "Caucasoids" are clothed, seems to me to lend quite unjustifiable support to the thesis which runs through both his books that Caucasoids are a more developed subspecies of humanity than are Congoids.

Although Morey knows, according to his own words, that it is not certain that this idol was the Moon-god, yet he is prepared to label it as though it was for sure.
Morey showed us a picture of a woman-like idol and claims that this may be the Moon-god himself which was discovered by Coon and Thompson and revealed in Thompson’s book.

Coon was an anthropologist — was in fact Professor of Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania.
