SERRANO-SANCHEZ, Carlos. IV. The Anthropometry of Daniel Vergara Lope: Calculating Values with Mexican Parameters. Gac. Méd. Méx [online]. 2004, vol.140, n.4, pp.422-425. ISSN 2696-1288.

This paper analyzes one aspect of anthropometric studies included in Daniel Vergara Lope's research on high-altitude medicine. Vergara Lope's work in physical anthropology has gone lagely unrecognized in Mexico, where his ideas and innovative methods have been ignored, as have the apparatus produced by his creativity. Vergara Lope argued that measurements of foreign populations should be abandoned and that the Mexican body be measured in national studies.
