Native of the African Congo are also suspected of practicing the cannibalism.
Nearly all the tribes in the Congo Basin either are or have been cannibals; and among some of them the practice is on the increase.
Races who until lately do not seem to have been cannibals, though situated in a country surrounded by cannibal races, have, from increased intercourse with their neighbours, learned to eat human flesh.
Here different tribes prefer various parts of the human body. Some cut long steaks from the flesh of the thighs, legs or arms; others prefer the hands and feet; and the great majority do not eat the head.
