Coon was a very respected anthropologist. During the 1960s his facts and data became "unfashionable" I think he had to resign from his university position. He has a very scientific look at race, the opposite of these political correct days now.
Also Putnam's anthropological views were censored. Heres a link:
Aside from Coon's discontent over the decision of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists to censure "Race and Reason", which caused him to resign, some of his other works were discounted because he wouldn't agree with the evidence brought forward by the works of people such as Franz Boas, Stephen Jay Gould, Richard Lewontin, Lieberman and others which played down or even dismissed race as a valid concept with which to partition biodiversity.[13] In his autobiography, Coon says he was offered the chance to write an article about race relations,
