“ It is difficult to understand the human remains from Horizon 2 in anything other than a context of extreme violence and systematic corporeal insult seemingly including anthropophagy.”

Wow. That sure reads better in nerdish/academic speak than the far simpler, vulgar even, conventional turn of a phrase like “It’s hard to believe the remains could be from anything other than slaughter, dismemberment and cannibalism.”

Well, they ARE English, you know.

This isn’t news. Our ancestors all over the globe routinely killed and ate their enemies. Life’s hard. Two-legged game was much easier to find, kill, eat at times, I’m sure.

Thing that got ME was the thought whether that tongue had been cut out pre- or post-mortem. And how certain are they all of the “victims” were dead when they were disassembled for biltong, sweet breads and the like?
