Abstract

This essay discusses the emergence of Anthropology as a specific field of institutionalized knowledge in Europe and the United States, called the Science of Man. The guiding thread of the article is the process of institutionalizing the discipline that initially instituted colonized peoples, so-called primitive or archaic peoples as the object of science. Anthropology was constituted at the end of the 19th century as an academic discipline that began to be taught at universities in the three diffusion centers, namely, England, the United States and France. The temporal spectrum covers the end of the 19th century and the first three decades of the 20th century.
