35、.00)CANNIBALISMA The 2002 case of consensual cannibalism in Germany, in which Armin Meiwes slaughtered and ate Jurgen B, has brought this controversial subject back into the forum. Considered by many to be the most heinous of crimes, cannibalism, nevertheless, still holds a lot of fascination for pe
36、ople. This can be seen in the popularity of fiction and non-fiction accounts of cannibal killers. Dr Hannibal “the Cannibal “Lecter from The Silence of the Lambs is virtually a househoid name, while real-life cannibals like Jeffrey Dahmer and Ed Gein achieved remarkable notoriety. Perhaps the most d
37、isturbing example of this phenomenon is the story of Issei Sagawa. Sagawa, an English literature student at the Sorbonne, fell in love with a German woman, who he then murdered and ate. Judged unfit to stand trial in France, he was extradited back to Japan, where, unrepentant, he became a national c
38、elebrity, writing several bestselling novels. Now free, he writes his own regular column.B The above are all cases of pathological cannibalism, but has cannibalism ever been socially acceptable? Anthropologists find this a difficult topic because it arouses such strong feelings in people. The word “
39、cannibal“ comes from Columbus description of a Caribbean tribe called the Caniba who were reputedly man-eaters. Europeans declared cannibalism the worst evil and so gave themselves justification for the violent subjugation of indigenous peoples. Thus, cannibalism was used to justify colonisation of
40、the Americas and many Pacific isles, as well as Africa. Pope Innocent IV labelled cannibalism a sin that Christians should punish by force and Queen Isabella of Spain made slavery illegal unless those enslaved were cannibals, which of course provided colonists with an economic incentive to see all n
41、atives as cannibals. Hence, most allegations of cannibalism from the 15th, 16th and 17th century are of dubious veracity. So doubtful, in fact, that some scholars have repudiated the existence of sociological cannibalism altogether. Others, however, believe this to be a backlash against the great nu
42、mber of false allegations and are once again giving their attention to the question of cannibalism-namely, in what kind of situation would cannibalism, the consumption of the flesh of ones own species, be normal and accepted?C It might, first, be pertinent to ask whether or not cannibalism occurs in
43、 the natural world. Clearly it does. Many species of animals cannibalise each other, but in nearly all cases the function of the cannibalism is to increase chances of survival. According to Professor Tom White of Adelaide University, survival cannibalism amongst animals can be thought of in two ways
44、. The “Lifeboat“ strategy involves the strong eating the weak when food is scarce so that the survival of the strong is ensured. Examples of this kind of cannibalism abound in nature: the first hatched caterpillar of the codling moth eats the other eggs; in raptor birds nests the strongest chick kil
45、ls and eats its siblings. In the more subtle “Grazer“ strategy animals graze on members of their own species that have energy stored in their bodies from food that is, for one reason or another, presently inaccessible. For instance, mother scorpions will eat their own young because small scorpions c
46、an catch animals that the mother cannot. Likewise, land crabs eat their young when they come ashore because in the ocean the young have been feeding on plankton, which the adult crabs do not have access to.D Though cannibalism occurs mostly amongst lower vertebrates and invertebrates, it has also been observed in mammals. Male lions are known to kill and sometimes eat the cubs of rival males and various types of primates have been seen killing and eating members of rival troops. In many
