Talk:Korowai people

message: I strongly suggest the claims of cannibalism be removed. There are no other sources other than the 60 Minutes program that verify this, not even organisations that run tours to the area. Popular thought is that there has never been any conclusive evidence to suggest cannibalism ever took place as part of a cultural ritual *anywhere* in the world. So for a tabloid current affairs program to be the only evidence for this is to look decidedly intellectually shaky.

replies: text: People should not take offense to statements backed up by fact. There are a few lingering cultures on Earth that have a history of cannabilism. Both the program on 60 minutes and the article in Reader's digest had a substantial scholarly basis. People who are eaten do not report the event to CNN after they have been eaten. Evidence may only point to a few remote cultures having ever practiced such politically incorrect rituals like human sacrifice and cannibalism, but these things have existed even if we find the concept of them distasteful. The idea that cannabilism has never taken place as part of cultural ritual anywhere in the world flies in the face of recorded history. Many cultures have practiced it.

thread_title: Cannibalism

message: I read in a swedish science magazine about a person who had lived with the Korowai. In it, it says that they have been practicing cannibalism on people believed to be Khakhua, demons (not witch doctors, as this article claims) who eats the organs of people and replaces them with ashes. The Korowai then hunts down, kills, and eats these people. They do not eat people otherwise. Is that article false, or this one? 81.233.196.49 (talk) 15:29, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Does the section on Kinship really have to be so technical ?  I find it almost completely incomprehensible.  We are talking about a tribe of people here, presumably they can be described in a way that the layperson can understand ?  OliAtlason (talk) 19:54, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. It's academic babble and should either be translated into English or removed entirely. What do others think?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.143.56.118 (talk) 00:11, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it should not be removed if we do not have something better. And it can be understood if you take your time to look up the terminology. --Againme (talk) 17:38, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Human genome? 

message: The BBC article does not suggest that the Korowai do not dwell in treehouses. It only goes as far as to say that in the filming of a documentary film, one tree house was staged for the purposes of the film and that this particular house was not actually inhabited by anyone.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 45.115.73.23 (talk) 14:51, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
