Cannibalism in history, do you dare to discover some data?
Taste of pork
What flavor do humans have ? Most cannibals agree that we know pork; Our meat is sweet, also similar to beef, but harder.Armin Meiwes, the well-known German cannibal, affirms that human flesh tastes pretty good, although we preferred not to know this fact...
As they say, the cooking method affects the taste of human flesh.The most common way to prepare human meat is roast and stew it with hot peppers and condiments , according to the cannibal tribes, this softens the meat and enhances the flavor.It is to think about it and it stirs our stomach...
Forms of cannibalism
There is endo cannibalism and exo cannibalism.The first corresponds to the consumption of meat from a member of the same tribe as a way to venerate death .The second corresponds to the action of eating other people in order to intimidate or create fear of enemies.
There is a belief in some tribes that they consume the flesh of the enemy provide an invincible force.
Auto cannibalism
Would you be able to eat your own meat? Voluntary cannibalism goes from biting your ones to eating your own muscles and skin. And yes, such a thing exists.
Kuru
Imagine you dare to taste human flesh, not only could you end up in prison for the rest of your life, but you could also get kuru ; an incurable and degenerative disease very similar to the mad cow disease, which is only transmitted through the consumption of human flesh.
The kuru was identified in Papua New Guinea, where the cannibals consumed the brains of the dead, where the most infectious proteins called prions are found.
The symptoms are: hysterical laughter, trembling, inability to speak well and finally, to move and swallow .The funny thing is that the disease has an incubation time of 10 to 13 years, and in some cases up to 50 after exposure.
Most infected die at year after symptoms appear.
Survival cannibalism
Imagine that you are in an extreme situation; of life or death.Would you be able to eat another person to survive?
The human being is designed to follow a basic survival instinct; In cases of extreme hunger, it is possible that-despite how horrifying it is-we will be able to eat human flesh to keep us alive.
Anthropologists claim that cannibalism can be a good solution to save life in the short term in such extreme situations, but in the long term it would not allow our species to survive logically.
