Best Answer

Sarah Baartman was treated like an animal and not human by the showmen who brought her to Europe to showcase as a freak show attraction. The racism continued after her death as her body was subjected to a dissection, the results of which claimed that she bore more similarities to an ape than a human. Until 1974, her preserved skeleton, brain, and genitals were on display at the Musee de lÕHomme. It wasnÕt until 2002 that her remains were sent back to her home country of South Africa and buried.
