Article: Cro-Magnons were the original Atlanteans.

Thesis: Cro-Magnons were the original inhabitants of Atlantis.

The author argues that Cro-Magnons were the original Atlanteans. The author backs up his argument with varying evidence. In particular, the author supports his claim by utilizing blood sample distributions based on physical anthropology. The author emphasizes the fact that the blood distribution of Cro-Magnons corresponds to the location where Plato described Atlantis to be in. Simply correlating the fact that Cro-Magnons used to live in an area that Plato speculated is simply questionable.

The article fails to actually establish the true location of Atlantis in the first place. Moreover, it fails to provide evidence of the true location of Atlantis. Despite providing ample amount of evidence regarding physical anthropology, the article is essentially basing their argument on the assumption that Atlantis is located somewhere near the regions of Western Europe and North Africa (where the Cro-Magnons live).

This article is targeted to an audience who believes that Atlantis truly exists. Moreover, it is primarily targeted for those who believe in Plato’s interpretation of Atlantis, which is located in the Mediterranean. The author provides “ample” evidence to support his argument that Cro-Magnons are the original inhabitants of Atlantis. In addition to this, the author targets audiences who need verification and information regarding Atlantis. This is evident by the abundance of information in the article that supports the idea that Cro-Magnons are Atlanteans.

Looks good; no complaints.
