Cannibalism continued in some isolated South Pacific cultures.
 Cannibalism is an ineffective method of disease spread as cannibalism in the animal kingdom is normally a one-on-one interaction, and the spread of disease requires group cannibalism; thereby it is rare for a disease to have evolved to rely solely on cannibalism to spread
Filial cannibalism is particularly common in teleost fishes, appearing in at least seventeen different families of teleosts
