Scientists analyzing 14,700-year-old remains at Gough's cave in
Somerset, England believe that human flesh was not eaten merely out of
survival imperative,
but as a "practical and ritualistic" behavior.
Snip: "The cannibals appear to have filleted the major muscles with
stone knives and then chewed off the remaining morsels. Even the ends of
toe bones and ribs bones were nibbled, perhaps so that their modest
stores of marrow could be sucked." Om nom nom nom!
