'Dr. Eugene Bodichon (* 1810 [ Nantes]; ✝ 28. Jan. 1885 in [ Algier] was a French physician an anthropologist, who lived and worked in French Colonial Algeria. A corresponding member of the provisional government in Algiers, he led the charge to abolish slavery in French Colonial Africa. In Britain, Bodichon is known only as the husband of Barbara Bodichon, feminist, activist for women's rights, and founder of Girton College, Cambridge.

In 1847, he published Études sur l’Algérie and wrote: "...the Atlanteans among the ancients, passed for the favourite children of Neptune, they made known the worship of this god to other nations."

Robert Stacy-Judd, has interpreted this notion to mean that the people of Atlantis were the first known navigators. Ignatius Donnelly quotes Bodichon as identifying the Atlanteans as the inhabitants of the ‘Barbary States’ or the Berber Coast of North Africa and the Sahara, and that in turn the Berbers were related to the Bretons of ancient Armorica (modern day Brittany), and who should also be considered Descendants of Atlantis.
