JBB: . . . I still beleive cannibalism was in part
responsible for the unnatural evolution of the species.
. . . cannibalism has been associated with every
transitional culture: Hunter/gatherer to
Pastural/Agrocultural. The rise of civilization seems to
follow the rise of cannibalism. IMHO, eat a head...build

Fascinating. Can I encourage you to tell us more? Details appreciated.
Thanks.
