Hello everybody, i'm a n00b  I've been reading for some time a lot of stuff here and finally decided to join. A question/suggestion I have is: What is the racial classification system that Dienekes uses? I mean, does he uses the Carlton Coon system (Alpines, Nordic, Borreby, etc,etc,etc et al) or other? I've yet to find a thread or page that describes all the major races and sub-races so if anybody could make a topic or gimme a link I would be much obliged. Sorry for the (possibly) dumb question.  |

Coon is generally the most respected authority on the matter though I think Dienekes tends to favor Angel's classification more. He also seems to like the relatively simple Biasutti system.
The unfortunate thing is too much attention is focused on the Caucasoid race because it is the most variable of all the five races. There isn't much to say about the Capoids but I think Australoids, Congoids, and Mongoloids deserve a little more attention than they've been getting.

Thats incorrect outside of Racist circles Coon is genereal considered a fraud. Its also incorrect to say Caucasoids are the most variable genetically and morphometrically that would be Sub-Saharan Africans. |

Coon was NOT a racist. And the only people I can think of who would call him a "fraud" are race deniers and Afrocentrists. Have you ever even read his work, Faelcind? He does not deserve such flak. Much of what he said may be outdated but his work had an excellent character and serves as inspiration.
