Outes was born in Buenos Aires, and was educated at the Colegio Nacional de Buenos Aires and the University of Buenos Aires, graduating with a medical degree in 1899. He showed an early interest in anthropology, and in 1897, published Los Querandíes, a study of the Argentine tribe of the same name. He traveled to France to complete further studies at the École d'Anthropologie, and became a member of the Royal Anthropological Institute and the American Anthropological Association, among others.[1] He joined the Bernardino Rivadavia Natural Sciences Museum in 1903, an worked there until 1911.[2]

He joined the University of Buenos Aires as Professor of Human Geography in 1914, and in 1930, was appointed Chair of the Archaeology Department.[3]

He founded the Geographic Investigations Institute in 1917, and directed the Anthropology and Ethnography Museum of Buenos Aires between 1930 and 1938.[2] He was one of the founders of Argentine Society of Anthropology.
