On this episode of A Life in Ruins Podcast, Connor and Carlton dive deep into the topic of cannibalism in the past and present. They start out talking about what prompted them to dive down this rabbit hole. They define the terms associated with cannibalism and then discuss the earliest known evidence of cannibalism in the archaeological record. They then detail other examples of cannibalism in time and end the episode asking the important question “Is drinking blood considered cannibalism?”.
