cANNleALlsm QUITE NATURAL.

Canuibgliam ana it's origin has found
an ingenious explanation from the pen
of a Partisan doctor. This authority
holds that In the primitive ages when
man was unproyided with weapons he
satisfied his carniyorous appetite with
the weakest Of his brethren. as being
less capable OF resistance than the
beasts OF the field.
AS civilization crept on members Of
tribe ceased to eat their own people, but
chose those Of some different commune
ty whom they might have been able to
overpower BY and by when weapons
Of defense and attack came into use
men found their own race more difficult
TO overcome and accordingly turned for
their daily nourishment to animals as
less capable OF defending themselves by
artificial assistance.
From this NJ, Joulin argues that to
kill ones own kind from hunger and
for the victor to eat the vanquished
were quite natural and excusable.
