Invited in 1933 to prepare a new edition of William Z. Ripley’s 1899 volume of the same title, Coon produced an entirely rewritten study that was published by Macmillan in 1939. The book draws on anthropometric data, archaeological evidence, and historical sources to classify the living populations of Europe.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eCoon presents the white or Caucasoid race as of dual origin: Upper Paleolithic types that he regarded as indigenous to Europe, and Mediterranean types that entered in large numbers during the Neolithic. He argues that the modern racial pattern of Europe results from the mixture of these elements, and he describes a process he called “dinaricization,” in which the blending of reduced Upper Paleolithic and Mediterranean stocks produces distinctive non-intermediate forms. The volume expands Ripley’s earlier Mediterranean–Alpine–Nordic scheme with additional regional types and surveys the racial history of Europe from the Pleistocene through the Iron Age, illustrated with extensive photographic plates.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1x3r274\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3\"\u003eSovereign Archive Publishing is proud to offer this classic of mid-twentieth-century physical anthropology. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1x3r274 r-36ujnk\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1x3r274\"\u003eThe Races of Europe\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1x3r274\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3\"\u003e remains essential reading for those wanting to better understand the history of racial classification, European population history, and the anthropological literature of the 1930s.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 754\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.08 x 9.5 x 6.54 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 14, 1972\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67705125503158,"sku":"9780837163284","price":169.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0711\/4516\/0886\/files\/5621D550-FB00-48BF-99C3-977CE7360A24.jpg?v=1792556693","url":"https:\/\/sovereignarchivepublishing.com\/products\/the-races-of-europe-hardcover","provider":"Sovereign Archive Publishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
