RESUMEN
A finales del siglo XIX la eugenesia tuvo su inicio con la teoría de la evolución. Los académicos disertaron con los avances obtenidos de sus estudios e influyeron progresivamente en la implementación de normas y leyes de higienización para mejorar la raza. Dichos principios sirvieron de base para ir decretando leyes eugenésicas y luego discriminatorias. Colombia no estuvo al margen de dicha corriente y propició leyes inmigratorias congruentes con ese pensamiento en la primera mitad del siglo XX.
ABSTRACT
With the Theory of Evolution, eugenics had its beginnings during the last decades of the 19th century. Academics discussed the results obtained from their observations, and progressively had influence on the promulgation of laws and norms related to ethnic hygiene and improvement of race. Such principles were the fundamentals to order eugenic and discriminatory laws. Colombia was not outside that discussion and developed immigration laws congruent to that thinking during the first half of the 20th century.
