In Anthropology it is a movement or tendency that does not accept the 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) and that was proposed by the 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. On the contrary, Autochthonism believes that American cultures originated in our own continent. It was promulgated by the Argentine Florentino Ameghino and says that American cultures were the product of their own natural evolution.
