G.H. (Giddy Hoppalong) Allen was a late 19th century American sociologist, who made pioneering efforts to maintain the habitat for wild racoons in the Northeast United States. As racial prejudice was still prevalent north of the Mason-Dixon line, Allen was influenced by the belief that racoons and people of African descent shared common habits, and moreover were compelled to survive by means of similar genetic dispositions. It was this belief that led Allen to begin encampments, where young Negro men and local racoons were boarded together, often in the same bed, in order to study the harmonious effects of similar, yet slightly different, species of animals.

As the relationship among the coons began to foster, Allen's notes indicated that not only did his subjects communicate with ease, but they had almost identical foraging habits, which involved everything from climbing trees to stealing whatever necessary from the nearest garbage can.
