This finding, to be published in the January 1, 2011 issue of The Journal of Human Evolution, has strengthened previous theories that the first people to return to the region are now England after the ice age. The latest has practiced human eating habits 12,000 years ago.

The area also contains traces of macabre parties at the Gough Cave in Somerset, England.

It is a strategy to survive, according to experts.

Cannibalism does not always mean that meat-eaters kill an individual to satisfy hunger and thirst.

They also studied the bones that the Koi in Namibia had chewed in the 1960s. Koi people often do not cook as much food as Europeans, so there are more traces left on the bones.

Experts also analyzed the fossil bone collections of ancient people found in Spain, England and the Caucasus region.
