In Anthropology it is a theory that says that the American man had origins in other continents and that the development of their cultures is due to external influences (from other non-native cultures). It was proposed by peruvian archaeologist Federico Kauffman Doig. Other proponents of this theory were Alex Hrdlicka and Paul Rivet. It suggests origins in Asia and Oceania and is also called Multiple Origin Theory.
It is a term that the Peruvian archaeologist Federoco Kauffman Doig made to his theoria to make it clear that neither chavin was the parent culture nor that the Maya have been able to influence the Andes, so the renowned archaeologist supports that, since it was in the town of V aldivia (Ecuador) that was found the oldest ceramics this was the point of cultural irradiation for North and South America.
This is a Peruvian invention and is not known in other Latin American countries but among anthropologists and sociologists.Peruvian archaeologist Federico Kauffman Doig aloctonista theory poses that the effects of diffusion of foreign culture were determinates to develop culture in Peru the foundations of this theory, supported mainly by Kauffmann Doig, are as follows: ( 1 ) American cultures not could have arisen independently in Mexico, Guatemala, Bolivia, Peru, etc.; then, the Chavín culture could not be culture matrix since it was a highly advanced culture.For Kauffmann Doig, Central American cultures and Andean would have a third Center common origin. Not would have influenced Central America-andes or Peru-Central America. But that Peru and Mexico would be debtors to an intermediate cultural area which is the Ecuadorian culture valdiviaDr. Federico Kauffman Doig, recognized Peruvian archaeologist.
