Exchange Exemplar: Cannibalism Explained

Gerald Schmitt/Wikimedia

Thank Heaven for zombie movies.  Now we're at least familiar with the concept of people eating brains. 

Jokes aside, cannabalism--eating your fellow creatures--is well-established across the animal kingdom, as we explored last year with zoologist Bill Schutt. 

He wrote the book Cannibalism: A Perfect Natural History.  And for some reason, we have a taste for hearing the discussion again.  It's not gross.  Just don't eat breakfast while you listen.
