GARCÍA, GREGORIO. - Spanish Dominican missionary, b. at Baeza in the middle of the 16th century, d. there in 1627.

He spent twelve years in Mexico and Peru, where he gathered numerous reports on the traditions, customs and origins of the indigenous populations, which he disseminated in several works. The principal one is Origen de los Indios del Nuevo Mundo y Indias Occidentales, averiguado por vía de opinión (Valencia 1607), in which he maintains that the population of America descends from various migratory currents that succeeded one another at different times and places, an assertion confirmed by modern ethnology. His other writings: a history, Monarquía de los Indios del Perú, and the Predicación del Evangelio en el Nuevo Mundo, viviendo los Apóstolos.
