A brief history of cannibalism - Bill Schutt
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 тра 2024
- Human cannibalism is a lot more common than you might think. Dive into its complex history and see its uses in medicine, cultural rituals and in times of survival.
--
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.

They drank the sarcophagus juice
they even made colour paint from them -
@@alicecreamcake They even used the ashes as makeup. Dead bodies were also used for furniture, candles, etc, etc...
I'd wish they also talked about the Cannibalistic practices from indigenous people in Brazil. To summarize it, when a tribe would capture a soldier from a rival tribe, they would normally cook and eat him so they could acquire his powers. But the cool part is that the captured soldier would mostly be cool with it and would treat the whole thing as an honor. At most cases, the enemy tribe would even serve all of the prisoners needs and wills, tending to him as a respected guest. The whole thing was a spectacle, the prisoner would even need to pretend to have escaped just to be "captured" again, and if walking feast were to show any signs of fear or sadness, they would deem him as unworthy of consumption and would return him to his former tribe (there he would be casted away for cowardice).
Prisoner: "Yaaay, I'm going to be eaten!"
Cannibal: "Nope, you're too cowardly, away with you!"
Prisoner: "NOoOoOoOo!!!"
man thanks for telling us. this is a very intersting and super weird fact.
Wow, that's actually very interesting.
I noticed they didn’t show any darker colored cannibals when they are very common in parts of Africa.
@@seriousnesstv7902 that’s because people tend to forget that Europeans also practiced cannibalism and it was widespread.

I have a pretty deep fear of cannibals and always have, might even be a phobia. This video was INCREDIBLY difficult to watch but I did appreciate it, I needed to learn about the subject and appreciate it being discussed in a way that is not overly gruesome or gory. So thanks.

I’m the same way, I was scrolling through the comments while watching the video to find people who also find this disturbing and terrifying to not feel as scared.

@@ionastewart8814 Thank you, I don't know why I reacted like that... I suppose I get a bit reactionary too when I see comments like that, but you're right, there's no point anyway.

This Columbus guy was shaaaady.

Sad and true

We don't. Lots of us know now what he was. Besides this he also did various shady deeds.
The madlad committed mass rapes and genocides, and Columbus Day still exists
@Karen and even that was common knowledge in his time.

I went to a place called Cheddar Gorge, a place in england where the practice of making cheddar cheese was first made in the caves there. They also had a museum of all the people who used to live in those caves and they found evidence of cannibalism within those communities who lived in the caves, really interesting :)
My Ancestors were Caribs (actual Name were the "Kalinagos") and it wasn't 100% proven that all Caribs were Cannibals.. Christopher Columbus and some of his crew just saw a group of Caribs near some Greasy fried up Meat and *thought* it was Human flesh.
The Caribs treated him nice because they had never seen a white man or advanced ships in their life so they thought he was a type of God but in reality Caribs in our History Books were actually war like (There is another race that were actually peaceful and are known as "Taino" but are more popularly known as "Arawaks") and there is a theory that said the main reason they ate Human flesh was because they believed that the warrior spirit/skill of a Carib still lies in their flesh when they die so in order to strengthen their warriors they would eat off some of the meat from their fallen Brothers for their skills in combat. This Theory shows that yes, Most *Carib warriors* might of been Cannibals but other Caribs weren't
MIGHT HAVE* BEEN
That's really cool! Thank you for sharing, unfortunately there are so many liars in history that it's hard to know the truth.

@variety byun Damn I did that before🤧
My sociology teacher had a teacher in university that was invited to participate in a cannibalistic ritual of a tribe nearby our state. He was, however, forbidden from retelling exactly what happened as it was a religious pratice of those people, and therefore not only protected by law no matter what but by his own promise to the tribe.
Dude just ate someone's leg and can't even tell what it tasted like. Smh.
He forgot that human meat is similar to pork meat and that legal doesn't always mean legitimate.

It’s crazy to think how our morals have evolved in certain ways and not evolved in others given the times. Very interesting video!
"Tradition is the corpse of wisdom"
Artsy Aries well I think Cannibalism has almost always been viewed as a taboo or morally unacceptable, but when you haven’t eaten in a month or two it isn’t hard to convince yourself to eat your fellow man, especially if he/she is already dead.
That's an interesting way of thinking.
@@Dell-ol6hb There are many cases of cannibalism occuring in sieges most recent example is the siege of Leningrad in WW2.
Starvation will convince you to eat anything.

Music from 2:25 bopping... they shouldn't have great animation _and_ good music too. :))
That is a bit creepy how they give their parents leg meat it gives me chills
it was a really old custom that nobody practices now, and treated like an exaggerated metaphor for filial piety
but FYI, buns dipped in human blood (usually from executed criminals) were a popular folk remedy for tuberculosis until the early 20th century in China, documented in Lu Xun's story "Medicine"
Me to, but they really believed this might save their parents lives. So in a way it's quite touching!

During the Bengal famine of 1943, cannibalism of old people was really common. It was a horrible time, people were dying, it gives me goosebumps till this date whenever I think about this calamity. You know, hunger is terrible force, it can make you do things that are otherwise considered immoral and unethical.
And exist British that are proud of that...

Are we just not gonna talk about the Aztecs here?
*OK*
Tungus Badungus DePardeux Aztecs don’t really eat them. They usually made blood sacrifices, and not turning them into food. But yes, I also thought of this.
SleepyBunny Music don't the priest sometimes eat the hearts of the sacrificed...
@@hiimryan2388 I heard they eat the leg too.......
Cannibalism was actually quite common and well documented during the seige of tenochtitlan, the spaniards wrote it down, and the aztecs bragged about it in their few remaining texts that were spared by the franciscan monks.
Aztecs really didn't do it.
Thank you TedEd, very cool!

Cannibals: "soup time..."
I like how the music stopped when they mentioned mummia
From what I heard about Columbus, it was the first tribe he met who told them their rivals were the ones who ate human flesh, even claiming this tribe liked to eat babies, so if he was lying about the rivals being cannibals it might have been a lie he was told and also spread (provided it was actually a lie in the first place.)
Calling others as cannibals is quite improper.
