Affiliated to the Museu Nacional, in Rio de Janeiro, the anthropologist collected data on the anatomical, physiological and psychological characteristics of the Brazilian population in the early decades of the 20th century. The racial classification put forward by Roquette-Pinto resulted not only from the ongoing national intellectual context, but also resulted from technical and theoretical influences from abroad, in particular from Germany and the United States. The anthropologist&#8217;s goal was to produce an &#8216;anthropological portrait&#8217; of Brazil. His research aimed at revealing the racial characteristics involved in the formation of the nation, <strong>as well as evaluating the biological viability of the population, especially the &#8216;mixed race types&#8217;.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Read the entire article (in Portuguese) <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scielo.br\/pdf\/bgoeldi\/v7n3\/a03v7n3.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The portrait of a nation: Edgard Roquette-Pinto&#8217;s study on the Brazilian &#8216;anthropological types&#8217;, 1910-1920\u00a0(Retratos da na\u00e7\u00e3o: os \u2018tipos antropol\u00f3gicos\u2019 do Brasil nos estudos de Edgard Roquette-Pinto, 1910-1920) Boletim do Museu Paraense Em\u00edlio Goeldi: Ci\u00eancias Humanas Volume 7, Number 3 (September\/December 2012) pages 645-670 ISSN 1981-8122 DOI: 10.1590\/S1981-81222012000300003 Vanderlei Sebasti\u00e3o de Souza Funda\u00e7\u00e3o Oswaldo Cruz, Rio [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1649,12,83,21,459,8],"tags":[14085,14086,14084],"class_list":["post-29684","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-anthropology","category-articles","category-brazil","category-latincarib","category-history","category-media-archive","tag-boletim-do-museu-paraense-emilio-goeldi-ciencias-humanas","tag-edgard-roquette-pinto","tag-vanderlei-sebastiao-de-souza"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29684","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=29684"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29684\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=29684"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=29684"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=29684"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
