It was announced in 2011 that the finds there included the first known instance of skull caps. However, continuing research shows a greater degree of human modification than was previously recorded, "including defleshing, disarticulation, human chewing, crushing of spongy bone, and the cracking of bones to extract marrow."
The finds are dated to 15,000 years ago.

I know evidence of this has been found in many time periods, but...YUCK! Maybe there's a sort of universal hard wired consciousness of this, and that's why we create and watch so many depictions of cannibalism, from books, to movies, to TV . I am a prime example. I can't get enough of "The Walking Dead". Perhaps it can be described as fascinated horror. |
