New evidence shows that ancient people in what is now the United States ate other humans.
A few years ago, scientists found the remains of seven people in the southwestern United States. Bones and human blood found in cooking pots had suggested that they had been eaten. But scientists lacked biological evidence, until now. Richard Marlar and researchers from the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in Denver made the discovery. They found the remains in a settlement in the southwestern state of Colorado.
