the late Dr C.G. von Brandenstein, who learnt at least four Pilbara languages, told me once that in hard times, dead infants would routinely go ‘into the pot’.

The Linguist von Brandenstein who worked with these people for 30 years was an eye witness and spoke of "dead infants would routinely go ‘into the pot’."

So that is from 1960 to 1990 from an eminent scholar...

But according to you it never happened.

Then - in your expert opinion - when did it stop?

According to Lumholtz, Bates and von Brandenstein

That is exactly what happened.

But they were all liars

according to you

According to the consensus of Australian historians and anthropologists, Boris. Who debunked all this cannibalism crap years ago when Pauline Hanson tried to run with it. Like you, on flimsy "evidence".

It happened

Bates reported Cannibalism but was not believed

She went to great lengths to collect evidence of cannibal episodes. One set of bones she sent to Adelaide for analysis proved to be mere cat bones, but others were human. To be blunt, there are plenty of accounts by respected anthropologists about Aboriginal cannibalism, e.g. Elkin, Roth, and the two Berndts. Even Manning Clark attested to the practice. Dr C.G. von Brandenstein, who learnt at least four Pilbara languages, said that in hard times, dead infants would routinely go ‘into the pot’.

But to you none of this is true.

You are the expert

Prominent Maori and Melanesians freely acknowledge cannibalism among their ancestors. It takes some growing up to do that. Australian natives will get around to it eventually. Doesn't really matter today anyway. Unless you want to use that history for some weird accusation or justification of denigration.

Which is why, Matty insists on it, despite there being no evidence of it. Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

And you morons lap it up. It's all the evidence you need, isn't it. Who are you to call anyone a moron?

Since Aborigines had no pots, 'going it the pot' is a mere figure of speech.

I don't think it is disputed that Aborigines practiced cannibalism and it had, like everything else they did, religio-myghical, cultural dimensions and reasons for it.
As with a lot of the more primitive, grusome aspects of Aboriginal culture, this practice has been black washed in recent decades. Rapes and horrendous violence against women is hushed up and black washed too, blamed on colonialism even though the earliest reports show (Watkin Trench, 1788) that they are rooted in Aboriginal cultural practices and have nothing to do with the arrival of Europeans.

They ate Chinese gold miners up in the Palmer River Goldfields.....

they were Cannibals when i first worked with them

As far as I know they have stopped - but I would not be surprised if they still were.

But they still rape and murder children - even babies.

But to you Lefties that's OK
