Sure, there are historical exceptions to this: the Aztecs, some nations of Papua New Guinea and of course the Caribbean, an a region named after cannibalism. However, in every one of the tiny number of societies that practiced cannibalism, it was within the frame of a specific and exceptional religious rationale and was even then restricted to a priest class. In historical cases of environmental or economic degradation, this ultimate desperation is so rare as to be remarkable -- the soccer plane crash immortalized in the movie <I>Alive</I>, for example.<br /><br />The counterimpulses against cannibalism are just too strong, and even S.G. recognizes this, as the majority of society is ignorant of the fact that they practice cannibalism, leading to the Heston scene where he shares his discovery.Quriltaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05899113009557697341noreply@blogger.com
