The first Europeans were cannibals: archaeologists

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20090624/ts_afp/spainarchaeology

ATAPUERCA, Spain (AFP) – The remains of the "first Europeans" discovered at an archaeological site in northern Spain have revealed that these prehistoric men were cannibals who particularly liked the flesh of children.

"We know that they practiced cannibalism," said Jose Maria Bermudez de Castro, one of the co-directors of the Atapuerca project, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

A study of the remains revealed that they turned to cannibalism to feed themselves and not as part of a ritual, that they ate their rivals after killing them, mostly children and adolescents.

This is from Roleplaying Tips Weekly #426: 9 DM Tools
Erin Smale, designer of the Chimera RPG, sent me a data file
for TableSmith to generate random NPC monikers and
nicknames. TableSimth is free software for Windows, and it's
one of my all time favourite DMing aides. If you haven't
tried it and you run Windows, be sure to check it out.
