France has formally returned three colonial-era skulls to Madagascar, one of which is believed to belong to a Malagasy king who was beheaded by French troops during a massacre in 1897. His skull was then taken back to Paris as a trophy and placed in the archives of the Natural History Museum. It's the first restitution of human remains since France passed a law to facilitate their return two years ago.
