It's a spine-chilling discovery - hundreds of expertly-butchered human bones that suggest cannibalism was rife among early man.What's even more shocking is that the victims may have been HAPPY to be eaten ...
The birds are singing and the forest floor is dappled with sunlight. You can hear the sound of a babbling stream, running into the great river not far off to the east. Sharp ears might hear the drumming of a woodpecker or, high above, the cry of a sparrowhawk.

They uncovered hundreds of boney little happy faces. Yeh, that’s how we know...

what really happened there 7,000 years ago was a ritual of tender reverence. Sure, just like the cattle cars in Germany in the '40s. Just more "noble savages" crap.

I read the article twice. There is no evidence in there the victims were HAPPY to be eaten.

For ridicule to be effective it has to be funny or insightful. Otherwise it just blows back all over you.

I’m pretty happy to get eaten, but it doesn’t happen often enough :(
