one of the reasons cannibalism in spiders and some other animals is that in the case of spiders the males in most species are already at the end of their lifes after mating. so by the females eating them is more useful then the male dying and getting eaten by something else.

As the species most closely related to us humans, it is easy to see how certain behaviors manifest in them that we have in common.

I suppose cannibalism is "wrong" in most higher organisms due to the high likelihood of prion diseases like CJD, the human equivalent of Mad Cow. It's fairly dangerous to eat human meat if you're a human, and most higher order mammals have similar diseases.

[@paintbrush3554]

Facts. And disease in general. Eating a member of your species or one close in relation increases the risk of aquiring a disease from them. Prions take this terror to a whole new level.

Aren't prions only located in the brain? Therefore we should refrain from just eating the brain.

[@quepacho64]

Yeah I also read somewhere prions can only really be found within the nervous system, rarely outside the brain. After all, from all the examples mentioned in the video I don't remember ever hearing about people catching a prion from eating human flesh, only the brain 🤔

[@paintbrush3554]

@@quepacho64 prions attack the nervous system however they can actually be found in soil or anywhere in the environment that the nervous system tissue makes contact with (including after death) because it takes them an extremely long time to degrade prions and they cannot be destroyed or sterilized by usual means. Because they're just folded proteins they can't be washed off or away but have to be ultra super heated to be destroyed basically. So there's an ongoing concern about the build up of hazardous prions in the environment from dead animals or animals that made contact with them.

Many people know this now because it's been the subject of movies and at least one video game, but in North American Mythology they believe that Cannibalism invites and/or is caused by the "Wendigo" curse.

[@kellywalker1664]

Yanomami, too. Although in their case it's called "soup".

[@Rares.E]

Well done! Thank you!

[@basilbrushbooshieboosh5302]

I have been asked whether I would eat another human out of hunger. When I replied that I would it was very interesting to see that other people that were totally against cannibalism would change their opinions and say it would be alright to thence eat me, though still not eat others. This conversation has occurred three times with different sets of people. So, what can I deduce from these responses? 1. Opinions are never set in stone. 2. Cannibalism may come down to the opinion (fleeting or otherwise) that one has of the entity that is to become one's next meal. 3. Sometimes it comes down to whether one thinks they are given permission, of sorts, that allows them to partake in a practice, or possibly any practice.. Interesting vid. Thanks

Nice Work!

[@hugodesrosiers-plaisance3156]

Great video! Thank you for encouraging discussions on tougher subjects. I believe making a subject taboo is a hindrance to Human progress. I believe everything can and should be discussed constructively. There's always something more to learn. Some Himlayan peoples are known to ritualistically cut their deceased into pieces and feed them to vultures, as they have no other way of disposing of the bodies in a sanitary way - dead bodies breed diseases. Are there any examples out there of analogue "sanitary cannibalism"? It could potentially be a 5th category.

[@magnarcreed3801]

Very true! I know I’d prefer to be eaten once dead. I’m dead so go for it!

[@johanneabelsen1644]

It's the Sky Burial. Sky Burials are beginning to kill off vultures now, because more people in Tibet have access to cancer treatment. And when they die, the Tibetans STILL want a Sky Burial. So their body is filled with the cell poison of chemo therapy. That has taken its toll on the vultures.😨

[@hugodesrosiers-plaisance3156]

​@@johanneabelsen1644 That is a fascinating, although very unfortunate twist. Thanks for sharing!

[@damaslpressath]

thanks, thats what i think....cutmarks at the bones means the bodies where mutilated and flesh where removed, since than...like in many criminal cases of today, there is no evedence that the flesh had been eaten but maybe just removed for special reasons, even for religious reasons. It is a nice investigation but like often, there is a lack of evidence, so i now canibalism happened and is happening but in most cases here Cannibalism can at most be assumed but not confirmed

[@roberthudson3386]

Watch out for the part of the video that starts at around 32:40. Most of the video's pretty dark as you might expect, but I laughed hard at this.

[@kalrandom7387]

Very well handled video.

[@prairierider7569]

@North02 can you do a whole vid on the ancient human that canibalized their own? This is a homo genus I never heard of before you mentioned it antasesor? Sorry for the bad spelling of it. Merry Christmas, happy New Years and holidays to you and yours and to all the commenters here!

[@YashamaruSensei]

there is no question whether we're all descendants of cannibals or not ? the answer is a simple yes ... the question is "how close in time was your last ancestor who did it ?"

[@joshthemediocre7824]

I mean i'm not eating a person but i still understand why it has happened all through history..There was a long period of time when we were just on the menu, not the ones holding it.

[@brittaistheworst7523]

that's the thing tho, everyone is a "im not eating a person" type of person until they are desperate and hungry enough

[@chunkymonkey4868]

This channel is the best channel to watch before you go to bed, well maybe not this video though lol

[@davids.8509]

This video was beautiful.

[@anthonybrongers8961]

Established titles is a scam bro, you might want to look into it!! They're established in Hong Kong... Great video though!

[@lorencalfe6446]

that thumbnail is terrifying, must be what it was like to meet homo heidelbergensis.

[@adriancibran2202]

That was the wildest Segway to Established Titles I’ve ever seen

[@evandean3944]

While it's unlikely to be the sole cause, we need to consider the gigantic pressures of human encroachment on and wider degradation of chimpanzee habitat (also human-caused) before we conclude that the observed cannibalism is a default, or in way normal, mode.

[@jaredsmith112]

I don’t think an aversion to cannibalism is just cultural

[@aphextwen]

New north 02 video: 😮 Video is 40 minutes long: 🤩🥰😭

From recent times to the beginning of the time of dinosaurs, mammal fossils are rare. Our family tree is loaded with confusing gaps that are much less common in the dinosaur lines. Is it possible that mammals engaged in cannibalism much longer than we suspect?

[@samrizzardi2213]

Mammals first emerged in heavily forested environments, and non-human primates can only live in areas with non-seasonal fruit growth due to their inability to synthesise Vitamin C. Neither habitat is favorable to fossilization.

[@andresamplonius315]

@@samrizzardi2213 Creo que más bien sería a la inversa. Que los primates perdieron la habilidad de síntesis de la vitamina C debido a ocupar el nicho ecológico del bosque lluvioso tropical.

[@KindlingEffect]

Fossils of recent mammals are actually way more common than dinosaur fossils. It's just that the general public finds dinosaurs way more interesting than mammals, so there's more content created for dinos than ancient rats and deers. Also, we have way more human fossils than dino fossils... although that's not a fair comparison since humans are a single family of species, and "dinosaurs" is a term that refers to literally thousands (if not millions) of different species.

[@NotSoSerious69420]

@@KindlingEffect dinosaurs are in general more interesting than mammals IMO especially on the speculative evolutionary pressures they could have faced since, while we do have birds now, there is no living lineage of animals that are related to them in terms of direct looks among other things unlike mammals and reptiles where we have direct lineages that have remained similar in the broad sense for tens of millions of years. Mammals evolution along with dinosaurs and reptiles when we first started evolving from the most recent ancestor is pretty interesting for a layman like me more than modern or even post dinosaur mammal evolution or even general study. Dinosaurs also give off mythical ideas to most humans and were probably the basis for lots of mythical animals so will have more allure to people than. Also technically there would be more total dinosaur fossils (if everything had a equal chance of both being fossilized and being discovered) than mammal fossils not only because dinosaurs completely dominated the land on earth for 100+ million years but also the mammals that existed during their reign probably never got very large and not very diverse (in relation to dinosaurs anyway).
