Resumen
Since comparison of the travel books by Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) and Carl
Friedrich Philipp von Martius (1794-1868), we propose to analyze a transformation in the
conceptual patterns of analysis of the body and society. The concept of breed translated a
phenomenon of human variety to both naturalists. However, there is a scission in the way of
getting significance to the body that separates the work of Martius from the narrative of
travelling by the Prussian naturalist. In the anthropological riddle of Blumenbach and
Humboldt, medical and physiological knowledge coexisted with cultural, intellectual and
behavioural descriptions; but they were always maintained in different fields of knowledge.
By effect, breed didn‘t explained human behavior and the political, social and cultural variety
from a point to another in the globe. The rhetoric of European superiority was precisely in the
idea of an Ocidental civilization, inheritor of the Classic Antiquity; but, accessible to all
humanity. Martius has connected body and spirit through psychosomatic medicine theory and
animal magnetism. It is possible to see in Martius a breed characteristic based in a
physiological principle. In this principle, organic specificities interweave of depth of breed
instincts to the surface of ―cultural‖, ―psychological‖ and social phenomenon described by
naturalist in his works and essays of anthropological profile. The concept of breed from the
Bavarian naturalist has a physiological element to the comprehension of the human behavior
which is nonexistent in the works of the author of Essay on the Geography of Plants (1805).
