Cannibals who once lived in Somerset cave engraved human bones as part of eating ritual, study findsHuman bones appear to have been engraved as part of a “complex” cannabalistic ritual by people who once lived in Somerset, according to new research.The bones, which had a number of deliberate cuts and human tooth marks, were discovered at Gough’s Cave in the Mendip Hills and are believed to be between 12,000 to 17,000 years old.The cave has been associated with cannibalism before but the marks provide evidence that eating human flesh was a ritualistic behaviour.Despite numerous accounts of people living as cannibals throughout history, the practice is believed to be almost entirely associated with religious behaviour or funerary rituals with no conclusive evidence that any group of people relied on human flesh as a staple food.

Smokers told no butts on beachesThe Greek Cancer Society has called on smokers to refrain from leaving cigarette butts on the country’s beaches, underlining the risks to public health and the environment from an estimated 22 billion cigarette ends discarded on streets and beaches every year.“Dear smokers, if you cannot avoid smoking, at least make sure that you put your butts into some kind of makeshift ashtray... and then dispose of them in a garbage bin,” the society said. According to estimates by conservation groups, cigarette ends account for nearly 40 percent of the garbage removed from beaches.
