Verneau, René
René Verneau (1852-1938) was respected French anthropologist who included among his work a study of the Guanches. In 1888 he also wrote a paper entitled L’Atlantide et les Atlantes(a) (Atlantis and the Atlanteans), in which he reviewed the range of theories on offer from various French researchers of the 18th and 19th centuries. He discusses at length the Canaries as the home of Atlantis,but dismisses them on geological grounds. In conclusion he deemed Atlantis to be a fiction.
