By Daniel Miller Last updated at 9:23 AM on 5th October 2011 One of the 20 skulls returned home to Namibia after being taken to Germany for experiments over a century ago Hundreds of jubilant Namibians turned out to welcome home 20 skulls which had been taken to Germany to prove theories of white racial superiority more than a century ago. The fragile skulls, consisting of four females and 16 males, including a young boy of about three, had been kept at Berlin's Charite University. Namibian Prime Minister Nahas Angula told the crowd at the country's Windhoek airport that the skulls were a 'testimony to the horrors of colonialism and German cruelty against our people.'
