In this engaging exploration of the phenomenon of cannibalism, Bill Schutt examines its natural occurrence across species, including humans, and its historical contexts, from famine and medicine to rituals and terrorism. With a mix of wit and in-depth research, he investigates intriguing questions about the behaviors of various animals and their evolutionary implications, as well as the cultural perceptions of cannibalism in human society.
