Abstract
Along the 19th and 20th centuries the Guanche population of Tenerife (around the C.E. - 1496) was observed as a whole, without chronological and geographic differences. Since the so-called “Cronos Project. Bioanthropology of Guanche mummies” (concluded in 1992) new perspectives in archaeological and bioanthropological research were introduced demonstrating that the Guanche prototype did not exist and, on the contrary, the different pre-Hispanic populations of the island suffered a long period of adaptation depending of the area in where they lived.There was no a Guanche, but many. This paper is a brief summary of the differences observed in several populations according to different parameters.
