If a person believes in Darwin's theory of evolution and eats meat doesn't that make that person a cannibal?

Answer 1

If that would be true than just about every living thing on earth would be a cannibal since everything in one way or another feeds off of everything else.

Answer 2

All the answers given so far stress that eating one's own kind is regarded as 'cannibalism'. Quite true.
What seems to have evaded all the anwers (so far) is how to account for cannibalism. Ok, that was not your question. But I think we can safely ask for the reason for cannibalism.
The best explanation comes from a writer (ref below) whose hypothesis is that when an organisms diet (in our case humans) lacks proteins cannibalism makes good the loss.
Read the man, he might convince you.

Answer 3

A cannibal eats their own kind. Darwin was a dumb @*%!. Evolution is the craziest theory ever. Anyway, God said it's ok to eat certain kinds of meat.

Answer 4

I am not sure what point you are trying to get across with your question but a short answer is no as cannibalism is the consumption of one's own species and is more prevalent in the animal world but not among humans. It has been recorded in tribes and in desperate circumstances. Darwin's theory is on how species evolved and humans do not eat our closest cousins the monkeys although the Asians do find the brains tasty! sorry got carried away as I think your question has..

Answer 5

No. A cannibal is one that eats his own kind. Even though Darwinism claims that all life forms evolved from single cell life forms in a primordial sea, by now they are so remotely related as to be unrelated.
Of course, this is the fly in the Darwinists ointment: no one has ever seen one species evolve into another and there is no fossil record to support this theory (or religion).

Answer 6

LOL! Possibly, but I hang onto the belief that mankind is evolving, at least spiritually and 15 year old daughter has declared that I am naive', makind cannot evolve as, in her view, humans are a lesser creature than rabid, starving wolves.

So, maybe she's right and we are cannibals and a hopeless cause besides!

Answer 7

No, because a human would have to eat another human to be a cannibal they have to eat another human. Eating another species of animal no matter what you believe in does not make you a cannibal.

Answer 8

Not unless they're eating human meat.

Cannibalism is a common ecological interaction in the animal kingdom and has been recorded for more than 1500 species (this estimate is from 1981, and likely a gross underestimation). In sexual cannibalism as recorded for example for the female red-back spider, black widow spider, praying mantis, and scorpion the female eats the male after, during or instead of mating (though the frequency of this is often overstated).

The more common form of cannibalism is size structured cannibalism, in which large individuals consume smaller ones. In such size-structured populations, cannibalism can be responsible for 8% (Belding's Ground Squirrel) to 95% (dragonfly larvae) of the total mortality, making it a significant and important factor for population and community dynamics. Such size structured cannibalism has commonly been observed in the wild for a variety of taxa, including octopus, bats, toads, fish, monitor lizards, red-backed salamanders and several stream salamanders, crocodiles, spiders, crustaceans, birds (crows, barred owls), mammals, and a vast number of insects, such as dragonflies, diving beetles, back swimmers, water striders, flour beetles, caddisflies and many more. Unlike previously believed, cannibalism is not just a result of extreme food shortage or artificial conditions, but commonly occurs under natural conditions in a variety of species. In fact, scientists have acknowledged that it is ubiquitous in natural communities. Cannibalism seems to be especially prevalent in aquatic communities, in which up to ~90% of the organisms engage in cannibalism at some point of the life cycle. Cannibalism is also not restricted to carnivorous species, but is commonly found in herbivores and detritivores. Another common form of cannibalism is infanticide. Classical examples include the chimpanzees where groups of adult males have been observed to attack and consume their infants, and lions, where adult males commonly kill infants when they take over a new harem after replacing the previous dominant males. Also, gerbils, pigs raised for meat, hamsters and also some breeds of cats eat their young if they are stillborn, or if the mothers are especially stressed.

In the agricultural industry, savaging is the aggressive or cannibalistic behavior of mother livestock towards newborn young. This is especially prevalent in pigs.

Answer 9

hello,, I think you must be confused, carnivore= meat eater, cannibal = people eat people , and I don't mean nicely either.

Answer 10

darwin was full of shi*t.enjoy your steak and lobster guilt free!evolution is similiar to global warming,another lib wet dream!
