Is it progress when a cannibal learns to eat with a fork?

It's not. In fact, eating something that so closely resembles your own DNA is a very efficient way of eating. However, there is a definite social faux pas in eating a human. There are multiple examples in nature where cannibalism occurs, especially in fish in birds eating their young. Female Praying Mantes sometimes consume the male after mating (& you thought getting called the next couple of days sucked)\n\nIt's a cultural thing, like incest. In some cultures, cannabalism is accepted, and in Alabama incest is accepted.\n\nI would feel bad for ripping on Alabama, but they aren't reading this..they don't have the internet yet.

I've only found one reference to this behavior, and the original publication is in Russian. Orcas are social mammals and it would take extremely stressful circumstances for cannibalism to occur.

I think you deserve praise for defending your intellectual equals.\nAnd, fyi, I've heard that cannibals prefer woman's forearms.

The classic book on the subject (and one that started much of the controversy) is anthropologist Christy Turner's book "Man Corn" published in 1999 (Turner is a guy, by the way).\n\nTurner (and other southwestern archaeologists) would occasionally find human remains at prehistoric sites where the bones showed evidenced of having been butchered and cooked (based on cut marks and abrasions on the bones).  Most of these sites are associated with the very end of the Ancestral Puebloan people (also called the Anasazi) who dominated the four corners area of Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah and built the famous ruins at Chaco Canyon and Mesa Verde.  Their society collapsed and most of the large settlements were abandoned around 1300AD for reasons that are still widely debated.\n\nTurner and others have theorized that limited food and overpopulation (perhaps coupled with drought and other problems) caused the communities to turn on themselves.  The cannibalism appears to be more ritual in nature rather than for food.\n\nOther archaeologists have disagreed with his conclusions (and to the extent at which it might have happened) and of course, modern native cultures (like the Hopi and Zuni) who are descendants of the Anasazi are not real fond of the theory either.  While it was probably never wide spread or common, it does seem likely that at least a few bands did practice it on occasion during the dark final days of the Anasazi collapse.

In South America, the Amajuacas, Cashibos, Tupinambas, Tapuyas, And Botocudos tribes near the Peruvian border are cannibalistic. In Africa, cannibalism occurs frequently in the Congo. Cannibalism is limited or nonexistant on the other continents.

Well, if that was true then would it be cannibalism to kill and eat a chicken?  I guess you have to draw the line somewhere.  Why not with the chicken.  \n\nIf YOU thought of this question though I appreciate the way your mind works.

A while ago when I was in school yet, our Sociology teacher posed a question( as many do) about a lifeboat with survivors on it; many on the boat were near death. One person was given the task of deciding how to ration water and food for all the survivors. This individual divided the rations amongst all of the survivors equally, even those who would perish anyway(human nature). However, by the end of this social experiment, I do recall... we all perished. There was not enough to ration out to all, so we ended up starved, dehydrated and then fish food.

I can roll my tongue. So it looks like there's a small piece of lunch meat sticking out of your mouth? I don't know the ratio of people who can do this to people who can't, but yeah, I can. o_O

English with less formality\n\nFor the main course the fork is held in the left hand. The first finger is pointed and sits on the back of the handle closest to but not on the head of the fork. All the other fingers close around and grasp the handle of the fork. \n\nThe knife is held in the right hand with the first finger pointing and at the base of the blade and the same grasp as the fork.\n\nWhen using the knife and fork the knife is only to cut food and the fork is always pointing down and only stabs the food to bring it to the mouth. Anything else is unaceptable.\n\nThe question comes up about how to eat peas and corn kernals. The cook in this case should provide mashed potato so that the fork and knife push the peas or corn into the mashed potato and then eaten as above. If that fails then the knife is placed on the edge of the plate and the fork is swapped to right hand where it is rotated and allowed to scoop up the peas and corn.\n\nTwo types of spoons are used, the first is the round spoon for soup and the egg shaped spoon for desert. They are used on there own and in the right hand. You use a soup spoon by dipping in the spoon at the back and drink from the front, the desert spoon can be used to cut fruit with it's edge closest to you and it is used the same way as the fork. \n\nThe placement on the table is the side they used and outside in, in order of use.

yes, but probably that of the animal that was eaten, and not of the animal that was doing the eating.

You can equate it to the "Carrot and Stick" theory. If you hold the carrot far enough from the mules nose they keep following it in hopes of being able to eat it.\n\nSanctions are similar in that you tell someone (a country) they can have the carrot (that is just a little out of reach), as soon as they do what you want.

I think that is illeagal.  However, what are YOU doing that is creating this situation?  You have heard the saying, don't bite the hand that feeds you, right.  Think about it.
