  <dc:title>Diagrams, 'European', 'Australian' and 'chimpanzee' spinal curvature by Daniel John Cunningham</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Three side-by-side diagrams, labelled figure 1, which compare 'Australian' [Aboriginal], 'European' and 'chimpanzee' spinal columns. These are the spines of an unnamed 16-year-old Aboriginal girl and an unnamed 35-year-old Irish woman. The cervical and lumbar vertebrae are shaded in black ink. There are notes in pencil and ink, including 'association of LV5 [lumbar vertebra] with the sacrum in low races [sic] and in chimpanzees'.

Subject: Anatomy / Physiology / Anthropology

Prints of these diagrams were published in volume 45 of the Proceedings of the Royal Society alongside the paper 'The spinal curvature in an aboriginal Australian'.</dc:description>
