Cannibalism

Cannibalism is the act of consuming another individual of the same species as food. Cannibalism is a common ecological interaction in the animal kingdom and has been recorded in more than 1,500 species. Human cannibalism is well documented, both in ancient and in recent times. Behavioural, physiological and morphological adaptations have evolved to decrease the rate of cannibalism in individual species.
