Summary: Marcelo Bórmida also known as el Tano, was an Argentine archaeologist, physical anthropologist, and ethnologist of Italian descent. He became one of the prominent representatives of the historical-cultural school derived from German-Austrian diffusionism. Due to his academic positions, which limited the development of other theoretical currents, and his political alignment with fascism and military governments in Argentina, he is considered one of the most controversial figures in Argentine anthropology.
