 The Origin of Races. (Carleton Stevens Coon)
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.

Carleton Coon's research was complete theory on his part and has been debunked by DNA evidence.
Coon was the greatest anthropologist of his generation and recieved awards and citations from many of the top scientific bodies of the day.
Forget about Coon, McCulloch and kemp, they were pseudo historians and anthropologists, and much of their work is out dated and based mostly on speculation, they did not have the scientific instruments used today about dna, to have any validity to most of their findings, and they were favorable to the northen Europeans.

In chapter 10, Shipman describes conflicts over the understanding of human diversity by focussing on Carleton Coon and portraying him as caught between the opposing camps of Harvard physical anthropologists (Hooton and Sheldon) and the anti-racist evolutionists of the New Synthesis (Washburn, Montagu and Dobzhansky).
Shipman is very openly advocating the position that Coon's was a reasonable theory that deserved consideration.

 The New York Review of Books: PREJUDICE
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 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.

 Moon God?--Ummah.comComparative Religion
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.
Coon would be shocked to see his writing misquoted in Morey's fashion.
Morey would not let his readers understand that according to Professor Coon the same name which in South Arabia was used for the Moon-god was also used in Hebrew names like Emanu-el which Morey considers a name for Jesus.

 Book review by JD
This is not, however, the diversity that is so apparent in Carleton Coon's photographs.
Coon was an anthropologist — was in fact Professor of Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania.
A great deal of water has flowed under the bridge since 1965, and it is nowadays considered a breathtaking violation of good manners to notice the kinds of things that Coon made it his life's work to study and elucidate.

Two of the scientists most closely associated with the multiregional hypothesis are Carleton S. Coon and Milford H. Wolpoff.Wolpoff, however, distinguishes his own views from Coons as follows:: "Since its inception in the 1980s, multiregional evolution has never been polyphyletic.
