Bonus Question worth up to 4 points Prompt: Cannibalism and human sacrifice are considered a grizzly aspect of human behavior, but to anthropologists. There is a lot of evidence for these behaviors in both prehistoric and historic periods and across cultures. These behaviors occur for different reasons with different goals.  In about a paragraph (3-5 sentences) discuss one of these behaviors. Using information from this class (lectures, readings, and videos – No internet sources), tell me where we have seen this behavior, why it occurred, and what purpose it served, and how we know it happened. What evidence do we have? Be sure to include specific site information.  Response must be in your own words. No copy and paste from text/lectures! Hint: Longhouse cultures in Europe, American southwest, and Cahokia.
