The Man-Eating Myth: Anthropology and Anthropophagy Paperback - 1980

by W. Arens; William Arens


First line

The author of this provocative book has meticulously viewed the evidence from all field on the world's classic man-eaters, from the 16th-century Aztecs to contemporary African and New Guinean cultures.
