Sumario:In this work the concept of race in the first ten years of Marcelo Bórmida’s research is analyzed. In this early period, according to Bórmida, anthropology refers to the progressive development of human races. This does not mean that he avoids analyzing linguistic, cultural or historical problems; all these variables are subordinate to the concept of race. His approach is not sociological but raciological. For this analysis, mainly two of Bormida’s early works are studied: on the settlement of Easter Island (Chile), and on the peopling of Patagonia (Argentina).
