LOL, not yours, no, lol.
Quote:Anyway, it's just speculation and not well thought out... not based on anything in particular just that it would make sense to me from an evolutionary point of view (maybe... as I said, not well thought out) that eating one's own kind wouldn't be good for the species... and given the curious fact that all meat tastes different... which implies to me that they each have their own sort of chemical signature, it didn't seem much of a leap to think animals could have an aversion to certain signatures. But as I said this just a rough thought, and it could be a load of bollocks, but it's not exactly important to me... just a rough and throwaway thought.Well that's why I think it's interesting. It's a rough throwaway thought that seems to make sense. Cannibalism is part of the mating ritual of some species. It's the fuckers who get eaten that have all the bay-bees. The idea that a species might have an aversion to a specific taste is well thought out, though, well developed. We do. We're naturally averse to bitterness because bitterness indicates toxin.
However, what does "human-ness" indicate..what are we supposed to be averse to.
