Abstract
We argue that the masses of the first and third fermionic generations, which are respectively of the order of a few MeV up to a hundred GeV, are originated in a dynamical symmetry breaking mechanism leading to masses of the order , where is a small coupling constant and , in the case of the first fermionic generation, is the scale of the dynamical quark mass ( MeV). For the third fermion generation is the value of the dynamical techniquark mass ( GeV). We discuss how this possibility can be implemented in a technicolor scenario, and how the mass of the intermediate generation is generated.
