cannibalism:
There is an on-going debate as to whether, apart from emergencies/
ritual cannibalism, there is any evidence for the regular use of people
for food. See Arens, W. The Man-eating Myth: Anthropology
and Anthropophagy. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1979.

Human Genome Project
Human Genome
Diversity
The Human Genome Diversity Project's finding is that there is no such
thing as a clearly defined race, viz: "The HGD Project will also
provide the scientific data to confirm and support what is
already clear from populations studies -- that, in biological terms, there
is no such thing as a clearly defined race.
Biologically, there is a continual graduation from one population to
another" excerpted from HGDP's Aleghero Summary Report [http://www.stanford.edu/group/morrinst/hgdp/summary93.html]
A mouse has only c.300 fewer genes than us, and we have only around
300,000 - waaay fewer than scientists had believed.
Also ours includes the code of all the "lesser" species -- so the evolution
hypothesis is now accepted theory, ie. 'a fact'
