註釋
Presenting the history of cannibalism in concert with human evolution,
Dinner with a Cannibal
takes its readers on an astonishing trip around the world and through history, examining its subject from every angle in order to paint the incredible, multifaceted panoply that is the reality of cannibalism. At the heart of Carole A. Travis-Henikoff's book is the question of how cannibalism began with the human species and how it has become an unspeakable taboo today. At a time when science is being battered by religions and failing teaching methods,
Dinner with a Cannibal
presents slices of multiple sciences in a readable, understandable form nested within a wealth of data. With history, paleoanthropology, science, gore, sex, murder, war, culinary tidbits, medical facts, and anthropology filling its pages,
Dinner with a Cannibal
presents both the light and dark side of the human story; the story of how we came to be all the things we are today.
