Cannibalism and evolution.

Cannibalism and evolution.
What tastes better than a nice bacon sandwich?

It was while I was chomping on said delicacy the other day that a thought occurred.
I have heard that the closest thing to the taste of human flesh was bacon.

Robot identifies human flesh as bacon.

So I wondered if we humans are predisposed to actually seek out the taste of human flesh.

There is archaelogical evidence for ancient cannibalism.

I think that an animal that is both predator and prey to itself is a very potent evolutionary mix.

My question is: do you agree that cannibalism could have been a major factor in human evolution?

Or is bacon just lovely?
