15th century Europeans believed they had hit upon a miracle cure: a remedy for epilepsy, hemorrhage, bruising, nausea and virtually any other medical ailment. It was a brown powder known as mumia, and was made by grinding up mummified human flesh. But just how common is human cannibalism, and how do cultures partake in it? Bill Schutt explores the complex history of cannibalism. Lesson by Bill Schutt, directed by Basa. Check out our full book recommendation

Cannibalism should never be ok. Ever. What is the point of eating another human for survival? You lose your humanity when you do that. And you can never get that back once its lost. You will forever be corrupted by it if you ever eat another human.

What about India's Aghoris who are still cannibals in the present day. They dwell at the funeral grounds in Northern India.
