View source for Carleton S. Coon

'''Carleton Stevens Coon''' (23 June 1904 – 3 June 1981)  was a [[United States|American]] physical anthropologist and [[race realist]] best remembered for his scientific works on [[race]]. He fought a losing battle against the rise of [[Boasian anthropology]] and [[race denialism]] and is consequently often negatively misrepresented by the victors now dominating American anthropology.
