Resumen:
The exhibition and storage of human remains in anthropological and
natural history museums has been an issue strongly debated during the last
decade (see, for example, Zimmerman 1988; Hubert 1991a, 1991b; Podgorny
and Politis 1992). Discussion has taken place between the various interest
i groups and in some cases has led to the repatriation of human remains. The
I case of the stuffed African man of Banyoles, however, has largely bypassed
the usual museum and academic circles and instead has entered the public
domain (Anton 1992) as a clear issue of racial conflict.
