Craniofacial anthropometry

Carleton S. Coon's racial theory. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carleton_S._Coon

The 20th century racial classification by American anthropologist Carleton S. Coon, divided humanity into five races:



Before the Pleistocene

After the Pleistocene

Caucasoid Race

Negroid Race

Mongoloid Race

Australoid Race

Capoid Race


In his landmark book The Races of Europe, Coon defined the Caucasian Race as encompassing the regions of Europe, Central Asia, South Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, and Northeast Africa.

Human European Caucasian Skull








Human Capoid Skull

Capoid Skull common among the khoi-san bushman people that live in the southwest of Africa and a full different race from the negroids.

The Skulls of the three Major Races

Caucasoid // Mongoloid // Negroid







Assessment of Racial Affinity

Racial differences in skull analysed in terms of morphology (form & structure) and osteometry (bony measurement).

Skull can be divided into 4 main human races:

Caucasoid, Negroid, Mongoloid & Australoid

Caucasoid further divisible into:

•Northern European (Nordic)

•Central European (Alpine)

•Southern European (Mediterranean)

Very, very interesting. Thank you.

Examples are not that good, isn't that Naomi Campbell? She is mixed.

Also, the Mongolid is not that ideal neither.

As for the maps, Khoisanoids were wider spread, yes, like some of their archaic traits in particular, but not restricted to North Africa ever and moving South - they were probably always in East Africa and actually Negrid proper did expand later from a small original home land.

Well done.

Looking at the Caucasian chart for skull morphology it looks like the Nordics and the Meds share similar features with each-other while the Alpine is kind of unique.
