Three possible history of science arguments with related hints and suggestions, ranging from ethnoanthropological to psychoanalytic context, are here briefly outlined. The first one mainly concerns with some digressions on symbolism and its early origins drawn from economic anthropology; the second argument regards possible psychodynamic bases underlying racism; and, finally, the third one deals with some historiographical considerations about the early moments incipient the dawning of Freudian psychoanalysis. There is no any intention to be exhaustive and complete in treating the related possible problematic issues raised by these three arguments, but we would want only claim the attention on the possible interest in further deepening such questions.
