Podcasts about cannibalism a perfectly natural history

Tonight, we're diving headfirst into one of nature's darkest taboos—one that's far more common, more complex, and yes… more natural than you've ever imagined.My special guest is zoologist and author Bill Schutt, here to peel back the layers on a topic most shy away from: cannibalism. But forget the horror films and tabloid headlines—Schutt's groundbreaking book Cannibalism: A Perfectly Natural History reveals how consuming one's own kind isn't a freakish anomaly, but a deeply woven thread in the tapestry of evolution, biology, and even human culture.From sibling-devouring tadpoles and post-coital insect decapitations to the chilling truths behind the Donner Party and Europe's forgotten appetite for “medicinal” flesh, this is a journey into the hidden—and surprisingly normal—world of cannibalism as it exists across life on Earth… and possibly in our future.You'll never look at the natural world—or dinner—the same way again.Unlock a world of mystery!Join our exclusive community and instantly access over 1,000 ad-free episodes, mind-blowing bonus segments, and much more.

BIBLIOTECA SUBMERSA é a nova série de episódios do Podcast da Raphus Press, uma ironia bastante séria com o conceito de canônico e marginal, de popular e elitista, de aceito e não aceito, a partir das obras de autores que, aparentemente, tinham alguma influência (ou relevância) de certas obras ou autores no passado e que, hoje, parecem ausentes das livrarias, cadernos culturais, canais de vídeo na Internet. Nossa inspiração é Jorge Luis Borges e uma conhecida citação de Virginia Woolf: “Livros usados são selvagens, destituídos; surgem em grandes bandos de penas variadas e possuem certo encanto que falta aos volumes domesticados de uma biblioteca.” Episódio de hoje: Epistemologia do canibalismo (“Cannibals of West Papua”, de Brendan Connell) Obras citadas: “Cannibals of West Papua”, Brendan Connell (Zagava, 2015); “Cannibalism: A Perfectly Natural History”, Bill Schutt, (Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill, 2018); “Duas Viagens ao Brasil”, Hans Staden (Beca Produções Culturais, 2000). “Revista de Antropofagia”, digitalizada pela Brasiliana da USP: https://digital.bbm.usp.br/handle/bbm/7064 Apoie nossa nova campanha, PRÉ-RAFAELITAS : https://www.catarse.me/pre_rafaelitas Entre para a nossa sociedade, dedicada à bibliofilia maldita e ao culto de tenebrosos grimórios: o RES FICTA (solicitações via http://raphuspress.weebly.com/contact.html).

It's a tough world out there, eh? To live. To die. To hear the call of nature and answer it by eating your children. Just ask Bill Schutt, the author of Cannibalism: A Perfectly Natural History.He discovered something shocking: Cannibalism in nature is incredibly widespread. In fact, it covers the entire spectrum of the animal kingdom.CreditsCurious State is a Quick and Dirty Tips podcast hosted and produced by Doug Fraser.Find Curious State on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook, or subscribe to our newsletter for the latest updates.Podcast Manager - Adam Cecil Podcast and Advertising Operations Specialist - Morgan ChristiansonDigital Operations Specialist - Holly HutchingsMarketing and Publicity Assistant - Davina TomlinIntern - Kamryn LacyThe Quick and Dirty Tips network is a division of Macmillan Publishers in partnership with Mignon Fogarty, Inc.Have a question?

My special guest is author Bill Schutt, who is here to discuss the history of cannibalism as it naturally occurs in different life forms on the planet. Get his book Cannibalism: A Perfectly Natural History on Amazon.     “Surprising. Impressive. Cannibalism restores my faith in humanity.” —Sy Montgomery, The New York Times Book Review.   For centuries, scientists have written off cannibalism as a bizarre phenomenon with little biological significance. Its presence in nature was dismissed as a desperate response to starvation or other life-threatening circumstances, and few spent time studying it. A taboo subject in our culture, the behavior was portrayed mostly through horror movies or tabloids sensationalizing the crimes of real-life flesh-eaters. But the true nature of cannibalism--the role it plays in evolution as well as human history--is even more intriguing (and more normal) than the misconceptions we've come to accept as fact.   In Cannibalism: A Perfectly Natural History, zoologist Bill Schutt sets the record straight, debunking common myths and investigating our new understanding of cannibalism's role in biology, anthropology, and history in the most fascinating account yet written on this complex topic. Schutt takes readers from Arizona's Chiricahua Mountains, where he wades through ponds full of tadpoles devouring their siblings, to the Sierra Nevadas, where he joins researchers who are shedding new light on what happened to the Donner Party--the most infamous episode of cannibalism in American history. He even meets with an expert on the preparation and consumption of human placenta (and, yes, it goes well with Chianti).   Bringing together the latest cutting-edge science, Schutt answers questions such as why some amphibians consume their mother's skin, why certain insects bite the heads of their partners after sex, why, up until the end of the twentieth century, Europeans regularly ate human body parts as medical curatives; and how cannibalism might be linked to the extinction of the Neanderthals. He takes us into the future as well, investigating whether, as climate change causes famine, disease, and overcrowding, we may see more outbreaks of cannibalism in many more species--including our own.   Cannibalism places a perfectly natural occurrence into a vital new context and invites us to explore why it both enthralls and repels us.Follow us on InstagramFollow us on Facebook

When Bill Schutt writes a book, it tends to get messy, at least his non-fiction books. His first was called “Dark Banquet” which dealt with vampire bats and other creatures who feed on blood. To follow that up he wrote “Cannibalism – A Perfectly Natural History” which dealt with…well I think you know what that dealt with. Now he is back with a volume that every living creature can identify with. It's called “Pump – A Natural History of the Heart." Bill Schutt is a zoologist, Emeritus Professor of Biology at LIU Post, and a research associate at the American Museum of Natural History. We'll also spend an Academic Minute about a foot and a half higher with the brain. Photo: Workman Publishing.

Cannibalism has been used for centuries to define the lowest form of humanity, but the story isn't as straightforward as it may seem. Turns out, there may be a logic - or even a love - to eating people. Guests Emily Anderson, Curator of “Cannibalism: Myth & Reality” Bill Schutt, Author of Cannibalism: A Perfectly Natural History
