Carleton Stevens Coon (Wakefield, 23 de junio de 1904-Gloucester, 3 de junio de 1981) fue un antropólogo físico estadounidense. Coon escribió numerosos libros sobre razas. Se le conoce sobre todo por sus teorías científicas racistas sobre la evolución paralela de las razas humanas, muy discutidas en vida y consideradas pseudocientíficas por la ciencia moderna.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]

↑ Loewen, 2005, p. 462. , "Carleton Coon, whose The Origin of Races [...] claimed that Homo sapiens evolved five different times, blacks last. Its poor reception by anthropologists, followed by evidence from archaeology and paleontology that mankind evolved once, and in Africa, finally put an end to such pseudoscience."
