### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Quick-read popular science book, light on pedagogy.
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2020*

Easy-read science book, which discusses cannibalism in many species, including Homo sapiens. I did find new-to-me information on types of human cannibalism. Also, it was interesting to read about Columbus, conquistadors, and the Catholic Church using false accusations of cannibalism to dehumanize, enslave and/or exterminate indigenous peoples of the Americas.I’d read about large-scale, survival cannibalism in China/PRC during the “Great Leap” of 1958-61. But the author glossed over the non-famine, political cannibalism, which took place during Mao’s 1966-76 Cultural Revolution. That is a period rarely spoken about, even in China, and I read only one translated book about those atrocities—best word for said events. Although author avoids the 1960s-70s, he does discuss other rarer types of cannibalism practiced by the Chinese over the past 2500 years.With both Kindle and Audible versions to hand, I was able to read the beginnings of each Kindle chapter, and then I listened to narrator Tom Perkins read the chapters I chose. Author does a journeyman’s-job explaining Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSE) including Kuru, CJD, scrapie, and “Mad Cow Disease.”Note that there are chapters in this book—such as the upteenth retelling of the Donner family—that didn’t interest me.

    Not just about humans

I was glad to find this book covered the story of cannibalism in many animals, so very infromative and fascinating, as well as easy reading.  Don't worry, all those gross human stories are covered too. Maybe even more than I needed to hear...eating your placenta after giving birth??!!

    Bill, did you cop any type of buzz from eating placenta?
  

*by R***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2018*

Global warming leads to cannibalism?  I digest it.  Ten minutes of human hunger leads to eating each other.  I bought this book to learn about cannibalism in nature.  In Larry Niven's book Legacy of Heorot he describes an ecobalance of one top predator.  It seems he lives by eating his larval form.  When humans kill this top predator, all the larval forms can grow to become apex predators.  Also in his book Lucifer's Hammer, Larry describes the starvation cannibalism caused by a meteor strike.  After a recovery, the survivors adopt ritual cannibalism to initiate survivors who join the new society.  I feel that all crimes should be punishable by death.  These deceased, plus those dead by natural causes, should be fed to hogs and sharks.  Humans could then eat these animals to solve world hunger.  Cannibalism by proxy?  However, if TSE's can jump between sheep, minks, chimps , humans etc. perhaps  I will rethink my solutions to hunger.
