😳 He Quit His Job… To Eat a Dead Man’s Forearm | Disturbing Tradition

😳 He quit his job because someone had died.

According to Jared Diamond’s account, in 1965 a man working with him left his job after the death of his prospective son-in-law because of a traditional expectation involving the deceased’s forearm.

The practice discussed in this story relates to endocannibalism — a term used in anthropology for the ritual consumption of members of one’s own social group, including practices associated with mourning in some societies.

💀 A disturbing story from the history of anthropology.
🧠 History and culture can be very different from what we expect.
🌍 This story offers a glimpse into a traditional practice described in Papua New Guinea.
