Abstract
In this work several new historiographic contributions conceming both the life and the work of the physician and anthropologist from Telde have been studied. Three main points have been analysed: l. His prompt reception ofthe darwinist and haeckelian evolutionisms, being one of the first Spanish authors who assimilate them; 2. He was not excommunicated by the bishop ofthe diocese; and 3. The ideological bias ofhis scientific thinking and his discoveries.
