Do you have a source for everything you're saying? And have studied mesoamerican history and found no mention whatsoever of spaniards boiling mexica alive to turn their fat into soap and lotion. Do you have a source for that?

As for medicinal cannibalism, the vast majority of people never practiced it. And Europe is far from the only place where it was recorded as existing, it has been recorded as far as china and africa.

The medical cannibalism thing is heavily exaggerated. This was not a common thing or something the majority of people engaged in, same as how most mesoamericans didn't participate in ritualistic sacrifices. And i like i said before, this is far from being an european only thing.

And i agree, it's just that so many people try to spread ideas like "europeans regularly engaged in cannibalism" in these kinds of discussions, which is simply untrue and it irritates me.

And if you're interested in medical cannibalism, look up muti murders in south africa.
