Researchers have enough evidence of Neanderthal cannibalism that they can learn some very interesting things about it. There is extensive, and some would say incontrovertible, evidence that we were cannibals. I'm going to talk about two sites only with this because there are too many to even begin to cover all over the world.
We look into the evidence from primatology and archaeology to find the roots of human cannibalism in nature or nurture. Along the way we find shadows our own dual nature between sexy hippy bonobos and hawkish war chimps; learn how homo sapiens slept with their food, visit a stone age cave of nightmares in Britain; and join the debate over what seems to have been a short-lived fad for eating humans among the Ancestral Pueblo.
