Cannibalism

So we have seen many events of cannibalism passing through ages and ages, but isnt it very wierd that humans may eat humans?Flesh from their own kind ? What makes them do it ? Something controllable or maybe not? To my mind , this is an extremely complex issue and of course we cannot solve this problem but why don't we look deeper in the facts and in what exactly cannibalism is?

To begin with , there are different types of cannibalism: 

1. Homicidal Cannibbalism which is killing a human for food
2.  Necro-Cannibalism which is eating a human who is already dead.
3. Endocannibalism which is eating humans from the same community.
4. Exocannibalism which is eating humans from another community.

Now that we have an idea about what is cannibalism why don't we 


take a look at Why do people cannibilize each other?It doesn't 


seem really normal to me though. Anyway let's see...

A reason of people cannibalizing is ''Famine'' which is a widespread 


scarity of food, people are afraid of normal food and usually are 


scared of buying normal food from stores so some of them because 


of the starving may end up cannibalizing dead bodies or even alive 


people or even Self-Cannibilizing...Eating their own flesh and 


body.A really famous example is the Uruguayan Air Force Flight 


571.More than a quarter of the passengers died in the crash, and 


several others quickly succumbed to cold and injury.Of the 29 who

were alive a few days after the accident, another eight were killed 

by an avalanche that swept over their shelter in a wreckage. The 

last 16 survivors were rescued on December 23 , 1972, more than 

two months after the crash. The survivors had no food and little 

source of heat in the harsh conditions at over 3,600 meters (11,800 

feet ) altitude.Faced with starvation and radio news reports that 

the search for them had been abandoned, the survivors fed on the 

dead passengers who had been preserved in the snow. Wierd ? 

Isn't it ?Another reason of cannibalising are mental illnesses.Some 

people who are mentally ill obsess about eating others and actually 

do so, Such as Jefrey Dahmer and Albert Fish.
