that title is a from a great book by james loewen. anyway, as i perused the news, i saw a headline about the donner party. you know them, the group that was trying to make it to california and get stuck in the snow? then they ate one another. except, evidence is suggesting something different. read here.
of course, some people may just consider this revisionist history.

"The absence of human bones does not mean the Donner clan did not resort at some point to cannibalism at Alder Creek in the last few weeks before the last survivors were rescued, Schablitsky said."
"My dad always said she had not been any part of cannibalism. Now we have the scientific proof."
The first quote is a researcher, the second is from a descendent of a survivor.
According to the article, there is no conclusive evidence to support either argument. But apparently, that is scientific proof that it didn't happen. Idiots. Sounds like a lot more speculation than actual scientific investigation.
