Page "Cannibalism" Paragraph 27

Among modern humans, cannibalism has been practiced by various groups.

In the past, it was practiced by humans in Europe, South America, among Iroquoian peoples in North America, Maori in New Zealand, the Solomon Islands, parts of West Africa and Central Africa, some of the islands of Polynesia, New Guinea, Sumatra, and Fiji.

Evidence of cannibalism has been found in ruins associated with the Anasazi culture of the Southwestern United States as well.
