I'd think cannibalism happened at certain points in time.The above article made it clear that there was plentiful prey living near the caves so that those hominids did not become cannibals because of desperate times like famine. They probably thought like more recent tribes(ie eat the brain and you'll become more intelligent, eat the heart and you'll grow braver etc.)
There had to be good reasons to do it: war, famine, etc.
It's not as if it was a standard feature or preferred staple food.
....
and to think all of those abortions are just getting tossed in the trash. :o
The above article made it clear that there was plentiful prey living near the caves so that those hominids did not become cannibals because of desperate times like famine. They probably thought like more recent tribes(ie eat the brain and you'll become more intelligent, eat the heart and you'll grow braver etc.)The article also suggests another reason was simple reduction or extermination of competitors. When doing that my guess is they wouldn't likely let good brain or marrow and maybe tongue and some other parts go to waste. :)
I made previous references to cannibalism in the palaeolithic era a while back but a few here didn't believe me or thought it was exaggerated.Before I joined this forum I knew that the name given to my alleged ancestral relatives, the Mohawks (they reportedly called themselves Kanienkeh or Kanienkehaka--people of the flint), was reportedly given to them by Algonquian-speaking enemies and that Mohawk allegedly means "man-eaters," because of their habit of eating the liver and perhaps other parts of their vanquished enemies. I don't know whether it was this forum or another, but I've also discussed how the liver was commonly regarded in pre-Neolithic societies and even some Neolithic ones as the main seat of the soul and that eating it was reportedly often believed to give you the spirit/power (what the Maori apparently call "Mana") of the man you killed. Granted, technically the Maori were Neolithic since they practiced some agriculture, but I knew that practice of cannibalism went way back long before Maori and even before H. sapiens sapiens.
Fascinating--my ring finger is longer than my index finger--about the same ratio as that of the Neanderthal finger bones in the image. This is yet another interesting characteristic I share with Neanderthals (along with red hair, greenish eyes--and getting a bit greener with a RPD, pale skin, doing well on a meat-heavy diet and being descended from an area that Neanderthals lived in), though I don't feel like a sex-obsessed thug. :P Guess I'll have to teach that journalist a lesson by killing him, feasting on his liver, tongue, brain and marrow, and taking his female companion. ;)
There is this one kooky guy who claimed that the reason why we became intelligent was because our apemen ancestors had a preference for the consumption of hominid brains from neighbouring tribes.Who knows, maybe consuming a combination of the brains of primates and other larger species did contribute to the brain-growth of our ancestors. Some scientists have already hypothesized that eating brains and marrow did contribute to our ancestors' brain growth. Perhaps primate brains could have made a significant contribution to the total. I wouldn't rule out the possibility without counter evidence. After all, primate brains are considered a delicacy in some areas even today. It sounds like I may actually be open to acknowledging more cannibalism and giving it more significance than you.
I'd think cannibalism happened at certain points in time.Very good point.

THIS SHIT IS JUST SICK Sorry..
Ever heard of "Chinese fetus soup"?

Ever heard of "Chinese fetus soup"?
In the wild animal world, flesh is flesh, if you are hungry and you have a dead baby, you eat it.
Many animals in the wild are known to kill and eat their babies,
especially when there is not enough food to raise the baby or if the baby is weak btw
Wow so now there were topics about eating shit and about eating fetuses, lol
So what would you guys rather eat? Shit or a fetus? Just kidding -d
THIS SHIT IS JUST SICK Sorry..You're right, Achillezz and I didn't notice the worst posts. Unfortunately made a sort of joke in the midst of it which was in poor taste given the context of the other posts. I apologize for that. If I had noticed the others I wouldn't have joked and would have instead asked people to stay on topic of this thread and not post shocking and highly controversial off-topic stuff, regardless of whether it's meant as humor or not.
