Something to chew on, "Cannibalism was routine..."

[Scaramouche]

According to this article cannibalism was quite prevalent throughout history: http://www.arts.telegraph.co.uk/connected/main.jhtml?xml=/connected/2003/10/15/ecfcann14.xml&sSheet=/connected/2003/10/22/ixconn.html


Good read, but what caught my eye was this...

"Now we know that cannibalism was a widespread norm in the past, we need to find out why particular societies gave it up. Somewhat uncomfortably, the reason in Papua New Guinea, after the Australian government's suppression of funerary cannibalism in the Fifties, seems to have been a desire on the part of the indigenous population to be reincarnated as affluent white people."

Can you Grok that???
