Human Cannibalism – Part 3

This article is a continuation of ‘Human Cannibalism – Part 2’.

In North America, analysis of the remains discovered in archaeological sites inhabited between 1150 and 1200 d. C. by the Anasazi Indians, confirmed the existence of cannibalism in this town.

First released in 1967 by Christy G. bio archaeologist Turner, was tested more specifically in the 90’s the existence of cannibalism, the findings of Richard Marlar of the School of Medicine, University of Colorado. He and his colleagues say they have found
human hemoglobin in the vessels of pottery of the Anasazi culture, suggesting they were cooked with human blood. Moreover, in human coprolites burned (old stools), found near the fire in a shelter abandoned, also found the existence of human hemoglobin.

Several archaeologists say some ruins in Mesoamerica and South America contain samples of cannibalism, and we discuss the extension of ritual cannibalism in some African cultures or Polynesian (thought that was the fate of Captain James Cook).

According to the stories of conquerors, including the indigenous allies and adversaries of Hernan Cortes practice of cannibalism was common in religious ceremonies and after the skirmish, taking even salt for salting the battles the enemy dead and that they
lasted longer your meat, and come back with it to their villages and spread among family members.

Without doubt one of the most developed societies in the past this practice was that of the Guarani, who practiced for religious purposes.
