there was a new library branch that opened up here in my city near my home. Just a small fraction of the books available to check out compared to the main library and this one was a new one. I checked it out. I believe the author is an zoology professor. He starts out by giving examples of cannibalism in the animal kingdom then slides on over to humans. Giving reasons such as a history of famines in China making it more acceptable and mentioning that there was an “avante-garde” movement in China in the 1960’s participating in cannibalism. He gave many more examples around the globe. Seemed to me he was trying to normalize it. And looky here who gave a positive review on the book, The New York Times….
