The encounter with the American continent forced Europeans to rethink a large number of knowledge that was considered safe. It was also necessary to rethink and qualify the sources of authority of those who wrote about the American territory and its inhabitants. This paper approaches the work of Gregorio García, Origen de los indios de el Nuevo Mundo e Indias Occidentales, from this perspective, and analyzes the role that the Spanish Dominican gave to opinion as a source of authority when compiling the different theories on the origin of the inhabitants of a territory that had remained totally unknown to the Old World until a century before.

与美洲大陆的遭遇迫使欧洲人重新考虑了大量被认为是安全的知识。也有必要重新思考和限定那些撰写有关美国领土及其居民的文章的权威来源。本文从这个角度探讨了GregorioGarcía，Norvo Mundo e Indias Occidentales的工作，并分析了西班牙多米尼加人在汇编关于原产地的不同理论时作为权威来源的观点。直到一个世纪之前，旧世界一直不为人所知的领土上的居民。
