Este libro presenta un aspecto poco conocido del desarrollo del pensamiento social y antropológico en Colombia: el evolucionismo europeo del siglo XIX, y en particular, la obra de Charles Darwin y Herbert Spencer en el contexto de las ideas sobre el indígena americano y el progreso de la nación. A través de la obra de Miguel Triana, conocido autor de la civilización chibcha, se hace un seguimiento al indigenismo en Colombia y su relación con las nociones de progreso, raza y nación. Asimismo, se estudia el papel que desempeñaron los conceptos sobre clima, pasado arqueológico, influencia de la conquista española y deterioro ambiental en la configuración de una nación moderna. La investigación adelantada por Langebaek y Robledo se basa en numerosas fuentes primarias de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX y de las primeras dos décadas del XX. De particular importancia son los numerosos materiales inéditos de Miguel Triana que por primera vez se publican y que son testimonio de primera mano de algunos de los episodios más importantes de la vida intelectual del país 10
