Human Cannibalism – Part 2

This article is a continuation of ‘Human Cannibalism – Part 1’.

Cannibalism as a common form of nutritional support has not been tested and cases that seem to get are based on sources that might be described as partial, conquerors, enemies, scanners, etc..

Is attributed to many tribes and ethnic groups: the Amazonian Indians, the Aztecs, the Pygmies and other natives of the Congo Basin, the Korowai tribe and Fore of New Guinea. Currently, his practice has decreased and current civilizations are rejected socially
and legally sanctioned, extension and social acceptance in the past is a matter of debate in anthropology and is part of cultural relativism.

Particular cases in our societies today are related to extreme hunger, criminals or people with deep psychological problems.

Those who have tried it say human flesh tastes like pork.

In Europe, France, Germany and in particular among others, in the Atapuerca archaeological site in Spain, by studying the marks on the bones found in the Gran Dolina cave show that cannibalism was practiced that surely , was not the result of a famine and
had no intention of any ritual, but is made by what has been termed as ancient gastronomic cannibalism, Homo antecessor this being who lived 800,000 years old with the oldest reference to cannibalism in Europe.

In Ancient Egypt in the late 3rd millennium BC, due to a long drought (apparently a global event called "Super Boy"), hunger led people to insurrection and cannibalism (the only known occasion of Egypt) , when recorded in Egyptian history as "the years of
the jackals." This event brought an end to the Old Kingdom, creating the first intermediate period of Egypt.
