Bbut...bbut... that's what you always do, Bbwian, repeat the yyyawning and tttut tut and eyerolling endlessly.

Why did it stop and when? Who knows? But more importantly, on your 'people change" point - if Aboriginrs can change this aspect of their cultural practice - why can't  they change other practices that exclude them from modern life?  Why not give up wife beating, tribal and clan violence?

It would be good to know what made them stop some practices deeply rooted in 40,000 years of their culture but not others. Can we apply whatever made them give up ritual cannibalism to behaveiours around drunken violence and abuse? 

This is not about cannibalism but leaving primitive ways behind, Bbwian. You say they have changed. But why did many stop at giving up this cultural ritual but not the others that cause their mystery and self-inflicted "disadvantage".

Did they CHOOSE to give up ritual cannibalism on their own volition or did Europeans make them stop? What are the lessons here? Voice them, to coin a phrase, and truthfully, Bbwian.

It was with much propaganda that Americans called Indians 'cannibals'. It lends much to raise the violence and bigotry against a people's who need to be destroyed, displaced and replaced by colonisation and colonisation has been going on for 6000 years since the first military actions in the Middle-Eastern to compensate for the flaw in 'Agriculture' (Farming). If your harvests fail, then raid your neighbours. Hence why Religion was created to bring some sort of 'moral' code to the increasing rise of 'Military' empowerment in Sapiens.

We just want some substantial 'proof' Boris. Not opinions and unreliable propaganda sources, which have been many in Australia for obvious reasons.

The need for Cannibalism is rare. Mostly due to the need for 'food', rarely for the need to scare away enemies with human skulls placed on sticks, etc.

I do wonder though, if 90% of all fauna is gone and food becomes scarce, especially in a population of over 8 BILLION. That humans will have to resort to cannibalism, yep - even the white ones?
Maybe that's the next evolutionary stage, with a bit of bio-engineering and selective breeding that a new species of Homos will rise above to feed off the herds of Sapiens?

I very much doubt cannibalism among the Aborigines has occurred since before 1900. Even then, its most all their own propaganda to scare Whities like Boris. Seems to work, eh.
