愛爾蘭人，地中海人種。 《Man, Past and Present》(1899年)，奧古斯都·亨利·基恩（英語：Augustus Henry Keane）著西南英格蘭地區德文郡的英格蘭人，地中海人種。 《The Races of Europe: A Sociological Study》(1899年)，威廉·Z·里普利（英語：William Z. Ripley）著
根據人類學家卡爾頓·庫恩（英語：Carleton S. Coon）的說法，地中海人種的「家園和搖籃」在北非和西南亞，從摩洛哥到阿富汗。他進一步指出，地中海人種是巴基斯坦和北印度的主要人口組成部分。庫恩說，體型較小的地中海人種在中石器時代從地中海盆地向北陸路進入歐洲。高個子地中海人種（大西洋-地中海人種）是新石器時代的海上入侵者，他們乘坐蘆葦船航行，從近東起源地開始在地中海盆地定居。他們還在不列顛和愛爾蘭像殖民者一樣定居，今天可以看到他們的後代，其特徵是深棕色頭髮、黑眼睛和強壯的特徵。庫恩在自己的著作中強調了地中海人種的核心作用，聲稱「地中海人種占據了舞台的中心；他們最集中的地區恰恰是文明最古老的地區。這是可以預料的，因為是他們創造了它從某種意義上說，它產生了它們」。[11]自18世紀後半期開始，伴隨着工業革命的興起，英國的地中海人種人口增長迅速。[12][13][14]

The Races of Europe （頁面存檔備份，存於網際網路檔案館） by Carleton Stevens Coon （頁面存檔備份，存於網際網路檔案館）. From Chapter XI: The Mediterranean World – Introduction: "The next strip to follow, in a geographical sense, would be the whole highland belt of central Europe stretching over to the Balkans, to Asia Minor, and across to the Caucasus and Turkestan. This second zone, however, is one of immense racial complexity. In it various branches of the greater Mediterranean family, of Neolithic date and later, have been modified by combining in various proportions with each other and with the autochthonous Alpine race. The key to the complexity of this zone lies in the genetic action of this last entity, which is apparently a reduced, somewhat foetalized, or more highly evolved branch of the old Paleolithic stock than those which we have been studying in the north. Since, however, it is the action of this element upon the Mediterranean family which is important here, it will be easier to study this zone after having surveyed the population of a third belt, that occupied by the purest living representatives of the Mediterranean race. This third racial zone stretches from Spain across the Straits of Gibraltar to Morocco, and thence along the southern Mediterranean shores into Arabia, East Africa, Mesopotamia, and the Persian highlands; and across Afghanistan into India. This zone is one of comparative racial simplicity. In it the brunet Mediterranean race lives today in its various regional forms without, in most cases, the complication of the Paleolithic survivals and reemergences which have so confused the racial picture on the ground of Europe itself. Only in the mountains of Morocco and Algeria, and in the Canary Islands, is such a survival of any importance. The Careful study of living populations of the Mediterranean race in its early homelands will do much to simplify the task which lies ahead."
The Races of Europe （頁面存檔備份，存於網際網路檔案館） by Carleton Stevens Coon （頁面存檔備份，存於網際網路檔案館）. From Chapter X: The British Isles: "The Neolithic economy was probably first brought to Britain by the bearers of the Windmill Hill culture from the Continent, and they in turn were members of the group which had invaded western Europe from North Africa by way of Gibraltar. The racial type to which these Windmill Hill people presumably belonged was a small Mediterranean, but there is little or no direct skeletal evidence from England to confirm this. By far the most important Neolithic movement into Great Britain, and into Ireland as well, came by sea from the eastern Mediterranean lands, using Spain as a halting point on the way. It was this invasion which passed up the Irish Channel to western and northern Scotland, and around to Denmark and Sweden. The settlers who came by sea were the Megalithic people, and belonged to a clearly differentiated variety of tall, extremely long-headed Mediterranean, which was presumably for the most part brunet. This racial group furnished both Great Britain and Ireland, which consisted, before their arrival, of nearly empty land, with a numerous and civilized population which has left many descendants today."

"Our area, from Morocco to Afghanistan, is the homeland and cradle of the Mediterranean race. Mediterraneans are found also in Spain, Portugal, most of Italy, Greece and the Mediterranean islands, and in all these places, as in Southwest Asia, they form the major genetic element in the local populations. In a dark-skinned and finer-boned form they are also found as the major population element in Pakistan and northern India ... The Mediterranean race, then, is indigenous to, and the principal element in, the Southwest Asia, and the greatest concentration of a highly evolved Mediterranean type falls among two of the most ancient Semitic-speaking peoples, notably the Arabs and the Jews (Although it may please neither party, this is the truth.). The Mediterraneans occupy the center of the stage; their areas of greatest concentration are precisely those where civilization is the oldest. This is to be expected, since it was they who produced it and it, in a sense, that produced them.", Carleton Stevens Coon （頁面存檔備份，存於網際網路檔案館）, the Story of the Middle East, 1958, pp. 154–157

Racial Realities in Europe （頁面存檔備份，存於網際網路檔案館） by Lothrop Stoddard. Chapter I: Racial Realities in Europe: "A century ago Europe began to bo transformed from an agricultural to an urbanized, industrial area. Countless cities and manufacturing centres grew up, where men were close packed and were subjected to all the evils of congested living. Of course, such conditions are not ideal for any stock. Nevertheless, the Nordic suffered more than any one else. The Nordic is essentially a high standard man. He requires healthful living conditions, and pines when deprived of good food, fresh air, and exercise. Too long as Europe was mainly agricultural the Nordic usually got these things. In fact, in cool Northern and Central Europe an agricultural environment actually favored the big blond Nordic as against the slighter, less muscular Mediterranean, while in the hotter south the Nordic upper class, being the rulers, were protected from field labor and thus survived as an aristocracy. Under modern conditions, however, the crowded city and the cramped factory weed out the Nordic much faster than they do the Alpine or the Mediterranean, both of which stocks seem to be able to stand such an environment with less damage to themselves. It is needless to add that the late war and its aftermath have been terrible blows to the Nordic race."
Racial Realities in Europe （頁面存檔備份，存於網際網路檔案館） by Lothrop Stoddard. Chapter I: Racial Realities in Europe: "In England the Mediterranean element seems to be increasing. A century or two ago it was probably insignificant. Since then the growth of city and factory life, emigration of Nordics, and immigration of Welsh and Irish laborers have combined to make the Mediterranean element a growing factor. Wales seems to be about three-fifths Mediterranean, while Ireland is over two-thirds Mediterranean in blood."
