Abstract

 I will review in this presentation this historical evolution of the concept
of"Dark Matter", from the first observations of "anomalies" in the 30's
until
the development of the hypothesis of the existence of a dark halo.
The presentation will be entirely based on the original historical authors,
reconstructing (by their ideas but also their mistakes) the
appearance of a dark side of the Universe.
The talk will include
discussions of original articles by Poincaré, Zwicky, Oort, Jansky, Gamow, Peebles, Zeldovich, Bond and many others, opening on the prospect for the near future.
