A new book is out which is so controversial they can't even use the word "Maori" in the title [of the news article]. "Controversial book on kiwi cannibalism released"
Apparently, all the evidence is there to confirm Kiwis (the Maori ones) ate their enemies after a battle. Although I thought this was already fairly well known, the author, Professor Paul Moon, makes the point that this is a topic that is often 'avoided' by other Kiwi historians. Already, people are on the warpath over this and I suspect some will be doing their best to make him eat his words.
The evolution of a culture is such an interesting topic. But I'm busy right now, so I'll leave it to the comments to explore any such interest.
Caio.
