But with my relaunch, I'm giving myself permission to stray from school-based curriculum that most of my videos cover. So what better way to stray than enter the gruesome and shocking world of cannibalism? Now as a 30-year vegetarian, I promise that I will not let my biases creep in. But I do think most of us make a pretty big distinction between eating chicken wings, little buffalonian shout out there, to eating the slice-off torso of a human being. Now cannibalism and its evidence dates back nearly 600,000 years, where anthropologists have found human bones defleshed by other humans. Now most episodes of historical cannibalism are attributed to famine and starvation, or even as punishments for enemies during war, as opposed to voodoo or witchcraft, sacrifices or other cultural practices. But the list is long.
