On a place of the ancient German settlement which runs 7 thousand years archeologists found out remains of almost 500 human bodies which became victims of cannibals. Even children and embryos were among them. December issue of magazine Antiquity writes about it. Ceremonies of cannibals were carried out on the place of ancient settlement under the name Herzhaim (it is located in the territory of modern Southern Germany) where slaves, prisoners of war and others were took. According to the authors of research - anthropologists from University of Bordeaux in France - severe customs can be explained by social and political crisis in the central Europe in neolith epoch.
