There probably would have been plenty of tribes in PNG that still ritually practiced things like cannibalism during WWII. Its interior really was very isolated until relatively recently.

The insane part is claiming, for no reason, that your uncle was personally eaten by cannibals when that's not actually the case, and would have been extremely unlikely even if he had been captured by a PNG tribe.

There's an extract in the Faber Book of Food from someone who spent some time, (I think as an anthropologist) living with a tribe who still occasionally practiced cannibalism. It was only done if they fought a battle against another tribe. They'd eat the enemy fallen, partially for religious reasons, partly out of practicality.
He said he asked them was it not very tough, since they were eating the bodies of fit, adult men, and would they ever eat someone less chewy, like a woman or a very young person?
Apparently they thought this was the most disgusting idea they had ever heard - to kill someone simply to eat them was as abhorrent to them as the general idea of cannibalism is to most people.

There's a book about the Rockefeller that might have gotten eaten that details some of the common beliefs, which varies tribe to tribe but very commonly saw white people as divine and generally forbidden to eat even in rites of warfare. Anyone's uncle pilot would have been avoided but eventually crabbed leading to the illusion people are them even though crabs gonna crab.

It concludes that if taking local verbal history at its word Rockefeller would have been ate but then reminds everyone he probably drowned and got crabbed and historiography in PNG is really up in the air because there's no written record until recently and everyone knows white people are obsessed with cannibalism and will say stupid poo poo to them for a pack of cigarettes.

'Seagull Boy', nine, wins European screeching competition


quote:

A nine-year-old British boy has won a European championship with his uncanny impression of a seagull.

Cooper, from Chesterfield in Derbyshire, travelled to the Belgian coastal town of De Panne to compete in the EC Gull Screeching competition.

He originally started doing seagull impressions after being nipped by one while he was eating a tuna sandwich.

He wanted to become "Seagull Boy", like when Peter Parker became Spider-Man after being bitten by a spider.


It's a drat good seagull impression.

Some of them, but I think cannibalism with them was more tied to warfare and religion.

I knew someone who worked as a nurse in that area during the eighties, and her stories were amazing. She told me that some of the peoples she had met practiced cannibalism within their lifetime, or at least within living memory, but even back then it was something deeply tied up in ritual and warfare. She said that she was more involved in treating arrow wounds and childbirth than anything like that.

Biden's claims sound more like a family story that you hear as a kid and take for granted, like how my family is sure that they invented the stroopwafel if only they had the paperwork to prove it....

AFAIK there haven't been any human societies where cannibalism was a regular occurrence for food instead of something tied to rituals, warfare/combst or funerals
