Abstract

Evidence of racism in the anthropological conception from the criminological studies of Cesar Lombroso, is only the starting point in the historical-cultural retrospection of how this instrument of human indignity is constructed. Today, at the beginning of the 3rd millennium of the Christian era, this instrument is present not only in Europe, but also in our Indo-Afro-Latin America, in its cultural core, spread across different generations, socioeconomic levels and dermal pigmentations. We explore how and why the discriminatory process begins from the physical perspective in the Greeks, its accumulation process with Judaism, Roman Christianity, the influence of an "stranger" invader like Attila, the crusades against demonic heretics, the catholic Inquisition, the new worlds and their colonialism. Also, the mechanisms of domination and the "leap" from rationality and scientism necessary for its hegemony. Finally, the biological determinism of the nineteenth century and obviously, the studies of Cesare Lombroso, know as the father of criminology.
