The first known cannibal was a Neanderthal whose victims' bones were discovered in a cave in France called Moula-Guercy. The remains of the bones show signs of someone trying to reach the brain and bone marrow, as well as tool marks that indicate where flesh was removed for consumption. Cannibalism is still evident today as well and not just thousands of years ago. Some of the places that still practice cannibalism are Papua New Guinea; The Naihehe Caves - Sigatoka, Fiji; The Ganges River, India; The Democratic Republic of the Congo; Cambodia; Nuku Hiva, French Polynesia; Liberia; Rotenburg, Germany; and Miami, Florida.
Cannibalism was at its peak during The Great Famine of 1315–1317, The Great Famine of 1315–1317 was the first of a series of large-scale crises that struck Europe early in the 14th century. Most of Europe was affected. Another large case of cannibalism was 63 years ago, when China was going through the world's largest famine, between the spring of 1959 and the end of 1961 around 30 million Chinese had fallen to death from starvation. The Chinese during the famine had to eat the dead or weak in order to survive the famine.
