Résumé : Physical anthropology was born in the Université libre de Bruxelles in the years 1880, at the Faculty of Medicine, without direct relationship with the human anatomy. The first anthropologists were there Paul Héger, Victor Jacques and Emile Houzé, who devoted the main part of their researches to craniology. It is the only little before the second Wold War, with François Twiesselmann, that this discipline acquired really the statute of science, while enlarging to statistics and genetics to become anthropobiology.
