Harare, Zimbabwe (News of the South)-Germany has started an investigation to determine the origins of more than 1,000 human skulls from its former colonies in Africa.

Most of them are believed to come from Rwanda. The skulls were shipped to Germany about 100 years ago for an anthropologist who was studying the development of humankind.

They spent decades in storage and became badly damaged.

The skulls have now been reassembled but most of the associated paperwork is missing.

Researchers say the best clues are notes scribbled on the bones themselves.-BBC
