"Japanese people taste the best - whites are too salty!"

The jungles of Papua New Guinea are a different world - the land of headhunters and cannibals.

Brave Italian photographer Iago Corazza travelled the country, the island at the end of the world, and took photos of its fascinating inhabitants, who still live a Stone Age existence.

“You find people here who can describe the taste of human flesh,” the photographer said of his travels.

Anthropologist Olga Ammann describes it more succinctly in the book. She quotes people who have eaten other humans: “The meat of white people smells too strongly and is too salty.”

The Japanese are meant to taste the best, according to her study - the only thing that beats it is the meat of their own women.

But is cannibalism just a myth, or does it still exist on the island? It has been banned there for over 50 years – but it is reported that some tribes still eat the flesh of people who have died.

Evidence of this is the current prevalence of the Kuru illness in tribe members, which is associated with cannibalism.

I wonder if the locals weren't just humoring the visiting anthropologist, like the Samoans did with Margaret Mead? I'm mean are there a lot of Japanese, Americans & Europeans who have gone missing in Papau New Guinea? The only American I can think of is Michael Rockefeller who disappeared in 1961. There was WWII, but that ended over 60-years ago, I don't think there very many of these Stone-Age people who are old enough to remember that era. 50 is probably extremely old-age for them.

But if it is true, I just thought of the perfect place to put a penal colony for America's perpetual criminal class.:thumbs up

Let's hope they like dark meat then:rotfl:...

It would seem so.

Reminds me of a film I saw on the history channel. I don't know the title and I don't think it did so well. But it was made in the 1960's and set during WW1, in German Tanzania.


Pretty much every time the Germans came to collect the Taxes, the Africans would put away all their rugs and gold, strip the children naked, cover themselves in mud and pretend to be miserable, so the wouldn't have to pay taxes.

:D
