Is there any scientific evidence that murder and/or cannibalism existed among Homo habilis, homo erectus or Archaic Homo sapiens?

Did they eat their dead or kill them first?The earliest evidence of cannibalism amongst hominids dates back from 800 000 years ago. It's passed homo erectus, but right in the field of homo antecessor. There is of course numerous evidence of cannibalism amongst prehistorical homo sapiens.

The ones that died naturally I'm talkin bout
Yes.Is there any scientific evidence that murder and/or cannibalism existed among Homo habilis, homo erectus or Archaic Homo sapiens?
Interesting that they they can't prove that it's territorial because the Cannibals and victims came from the same clan presumably.In the case of the article I quoted it was people who were killed than eating following what probably was a territorial dispute. Of course, there certainly was cases of "survival cannibalism" where you eat your dead to avoid starvation.
So what's your explanation for cannibalism? Watching too many foodie shows?Interesting that they they can't prove that it's territorial because the Cannibals and victims came from the same clan presumably.
Well they ruled out survival because they said it happened over a long period of time so you'll have to ask themSo what's your explanation for cannibalism? Watching too many foodie shows?

And of course territory as the article that you posted suggestedGenerally speaking, we seperate cannibalism in three wide category : psychosis (someone bust a fuse and eats people), survival (you eat people else you starve), ritualistic cannibalism (you eat people, often enemies or children, for religious reasons).
Ritualistic is kind of Bustin a fuse ya think?Generally speaking, we seperate cannibalism in three wide category : psychosis (someone bust a fuse and eats people), survival (you eat people else you starve), ritualistic cannibalism (you eat people, often enemies or children, for religious reasons).

I would say that survival is momentarily Bustin a fuse as well. Maybe not a bust maybe just a short circuitGenerally speaking, we seperate cannibalism in three wide category : psychosis (someone bust a fuse and eats people), survival (you eat people else you starve), ritualistic cannibalism (you eat people, often enemies or children, for religious reasons).
