Ethnologist at the Musée de l'Homme , theoretician of racism, collaborator and anti- Semite, he was one of the guarantors of a so-called "scientific" racism before the Second World War. However, even under Vichy, he and the movement to which he belonged with René Martial remained marginal in the French intellectual world.[1]
