ullangoo saidI agree with you that the Abraham myth reflects a transition from human to animal sacrifice.
That's the point. As to cannibalism, I went too far to say cannibalism was very common and widespread among prehistoric humans. Actually this is based merely upon my imaginative hypothesis. Probably cannibalism might have taken place only under extremely severe conditions like famine. Otherwise of course they would eat edible animals, fish and weeds. Writers have their imagination work utmost. Scientists gather as many clues as possible to make some decisions, but many scientists end up in feeling satisfied before any conclusions were made. Many scientists just show evidence. It is writer's job that combines those evidence with sometimes even 'ridiculously exaggerated' imaginations.
