Abstract

The eminently variable cultural practices regarding anthropophagy must be studied in the face of the uncompromising aversion expressed by other societies in this regard. Especially since all anthropologists studying cannibalism come from the second category and that the refusal of this alleged “bestiality” accompanies the advent of a domination claiming to be “civilized.”
