Abstract

Acquisition of human remains by Western travelers, settlers, and soldiers was advocated by scientific institutions in the motherland. In addition to analyzing the rationale for the incorporation of human remains into museums, the essay highlights some of the questions raised by their return, showing that debates around why and to whom to return call into question the intertwining of biology, history and cultural processes
