EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting image captures a chilling glimpse into the practice of cannibalism in Africa during the late sixteenth century. The photograph, taken by an Italian traveller and described in Thomas Henry Huxley's ''Man's Place in Nature'' published in London in 1894, shows joints of human meat on display in a butcher's shop in the northern region of the Congo. The sight of human flesh being treated as just another commodity is both shocking and deeply disturbing. It serves as a stark reminder of the dark and brutal realities that have existed throughout history, shedding light on the depths to which humanity can sink. The Italian traveller's account provides valuable insight into this taboo subject, offering a rare glimpse into a world where such practices were not only accepted but normalized. The image challenges our perceptions and forces us to confront uncomfortable truths about our own species. As we gaze upon this macabre scene frozen in time, we are reminded of the fragility of civilization and the thin line between order and chaos. It serves as a powerful testament to the complexities of human nature and leaves us pondering our place within it.
