Description

English: Redrawing of a map from Carleton S. Coon, The Origin of Races (1962), p. 659.

Distribution of Coon's "five geographical races of man" after the end of the Pleistocene.

This is the second of the two maps numbered "Map 13", labelled "Early Post-Pleistocene". Original caption:

"The second map shows what happened at the end of the Pleistocene, when the Mongoloids and Caucasoids expanded and burst out of their territories. The Mongoloids entered and inhabited America, and extended their domain southward into Southeast Asia and Indonesia, while the Australoids crossed Wallace's Line and occupied Australia and New Guinea. The Caucasoids thrust northward. More significantly, they drove the Capoids out of North Africa and occupied the White Highlands of Kenya and Tanganyika. The Congoids were reduced to a small part of their earlier domain, including the Congo forests and the lands to the north, where they later evolved rapidly and spread, as Negroes, over much of Africa."

Some of these hypotheses are no longer tenable, it is now known that the Proto-Australoid peopling of Australia is much earlier, and that the Capoids developed in South, not North Africa.

This image relies on colours to convey information. However, the colours used make it difficult or even impossible for people with colour blindness (at least deuteranomaly and maybe others) to read the information. Please consider changing the colours to meet the needs of a wider audience.

A more precise description of the problem: 1.) The colours used to distinguish Caploids from Mongoloids seem very similar in the map, though the difference is slightly easier to see in legend. (I read the Caploids article to learn which they were.) In this respect, the monochrome original in Coon's The Origin of Races is clearer than this coloured version. I suggest trying a darker tone of the colour for Mongoloids. 2.) The colour used for Madagascar is not in the legend. I thought it was another pink till I remembered Madagascar is thought to have been uninhabited at the time in question; I assume it is actually grey. White would be more intuitive and easier to distinguish; whatever is used, it would help to have it in the legend. I hope this is useful.

This biogeographical map image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.

It is recommended to name the SVG file “Carleton Coon races after Pleistocene.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.
