What are some cannibalism facts ?!


Question: Hello!

"Cannibalism"- is the act or practice of humans consuming other humans.
In zoology, the term cannibalism is extended to refer to any species consuming members of its own kind.

SOME FACTS-
Early history era...

-In Germany some experts have observed 1,891 signs of cannibalism in the caves at the H?nne (BC 1000 - 700).

-Cannibalism is reported in the Bible during the siege of Samaria (2 Kings 6:25-30). Two women made a pact to eat their children, but after the first mother cooked her child, the second mother ate it but refused to reciprocate by cooking her own child. Almost exactly the same story is reported by Flavius Josephus during the siege of Jerusalem by Rome in 70AD.

-Cannibalism was documented in Egypt during a famine caused by the failure of the Nile to flood for eight years (BC 1073-1064).

-St. Jerome, in his letter Against Jovinianus, tells of meeting members of a British tribe, the Atticoti, while traveling in Gaul. According to Jerome, the Britons claimed that they enjoyed eating "the buttocks of the shepherds and the breasts of their women" as a delicacy (ca. 360 AD). In 2001, archaeologists at the University of Bristol found evidence of Iron Age cannibalism in Gloucestershire.

There is so much information and history behind the pratice of cannibalism.
I also posted some more info for you!

Fact. The rarest disease in the world is laughing sickness. It is acquired from eating human brains,and has only been found in a few of the primitive cannibalistic tribes left in the world.
Read this years ago in the Guinness Book of World Records in the 1970's.
