Riassunto
Nel novembre del 2006, il consiglio di amministrazione del Britain’s Naturai History Museum di Londra si riunì per discutere il destino di alcuni scheletri aborigeni che stavano per essere sottratti per sempre alla ricerca scientifica. Il museo doveva, infatti, consegnare i resti di 17 individui al Tasmanian Aborigenal Centre, che intendeva cremarli. Prima della consegna il consiglio acconsentì a ulteriori analisi sui reperti, una scelta che irritò il centro tasmaniano e provocò un ricorso presso la Corte Suprema britannica.
