<DIV>> > In a few cases in insular Melanesia, indigenous
flesh-markets existed.” And of course <BR>> > we know of cases when
shipwrecked sailors or other groups of isolated survivors ate human flesh to

cannibalism not being for the purpose of nutrition stands.<BR>> Famine and
starvation cannibalism occurs despite cultural proscriptions against it. And
Melanesia<BR>> includes the Papua-New Guinea tribes I gave as examples. Human
flesh-markets there were selling <BR>> courage not protein, just as Chinese
rhino horn dealers are selling sexual potency, not keratin <BR>> for
nourishment.</DIV>
