Cannibals are individuals who consume the flesh of other humans. This practice has been documented in various cultures throughout history, often linked to rituals, survival, or warfare. Cannibalism can be classified into different types, such as endocannibalism, where people eat members of their own group, and exocannibalism, where they consume outsiders. While cannibalism is largely considered taboo and illegal in most societies today, it has appeared in literature, films, and folklore. Notable historical cases include the Aztecs, who practiced ritualistic cannibalism, and infamous figures like Jeffrey Dahmer, who committed acts of cannibalism in modern times.
