Our distant ancestors were definitely cannibals. This is evidenced by numerous findings of scientists. So, recently in the southwest of America, traces of an ancient cannibal feast were discovered …
The Cowboy Wash Indian settlement in Colorado was abandoned by the inhabitants around 1150 AD. It consisted of only three earthen huts. During excavations, archaeologists stumbled upon seven dismembered skeletons. The bones and skulls were removed from the flesh, scorched in the fire and split, probably to extract the marrow from them. Fragments of bones lay in cooking pots. On the walls of the hearths were spots that looked like blood; in one of them lay a piece of hardened mass that looked like dried human excrement.
Laboratory studies have revealed that the artifacts found contain a protein, the chemical composition of which corresponds to that of a human. This clearly indicates cannibalism. Thus, the researchers obtained the first indisputable evidence of the existence of cannibalism among the Anasazi Indians, who once inhabited the territories of Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico and Utah.
Scientists, however, while acknowledging the fact of cannibalism, believe that the findings at Cowboy Wash do not yet explain who and why practiced it. The fact is that circumstantial evidence that researchers have so far come across suggests that the Anasazi ate exclusively the meat of their fellow tribesmen and most often during religious rituals. The inhabitants of Cowboy Wash were clearly killed by outsiders.
The Anasazi - these include the Hopi, Zuni and other tribes that lived in those places - represent one of the most mysterious Indian cultures. They were by no means primitive savages - they managed to build a network of roads and ritual centers throughout the southwest.
40 miles east of Cowboy Wash are the ruins of the lost city of Mesa Verde, surrounded by sheer cliffs and aqueducts. Meanwhile, most of the Anasazi lived in huts, growing corn and hunting wild animals. In the Cowboy-Wash dugouts, pottery, whetstones, jewelry and other items of archaeological value have been preserved.
Some historians suggest that local Indians were sacrificed as prisoners of war. Others claim they were burned for witchcraft. And an archaeologist from the University of South Carolina Brian Billman put forward a hypothesis that the unfortunate Indians were destroyed and eaten by unknown intruders who planned to profit from their good. What they could not carry with them, they had to leave in the huts … One way or another, the secret of those old events in Cowboy Wash has not yet been revealed.

Where Do Vampires And Cannibals Come From?
Instead of being indignant: "And as soon as the earth carries these creatures ?!", it would not be a sin to think - where do they come from at all? Maybe this is our fault too? “… We counted 19 cases of cannibalism among the local population, and all of them were not ritualistic and were not a forced measure in the absence of food. On the contrary, the residents interviewed claim that the cravings for eating human meat appear spontaneously and independently of the diet. We have collected

Cannibals Found Neanderthal Family Eaten By Cannibals
Spanish paleontologists made an unusual find: they managed to find the remains of a family of 12 Neanderthals killed about 49,000 years ago.
