Cannibalism still occurs to this day. Some times cannibalism is practiced in the event of a crisis, such as a ship sinking and the only hope of survival is to eat one of the other passengers. Some tribes still practice cannibalism for religious reasons. Also there have been a few famous cases of cannibalism as a fetish.

None. The jury is still out that cannibalism as a ritual practice exists at all as opposed to practiced under conditions of starvation or perversion). Although much folklore abounds, no credible sighting of cannibalism by anthropologists exists. As Martin Gardner former editor of science at the New York times noted in his book Did Adam and Eve Have Navels? Debunking Pseudoscience, that a 1979 book by William Arens entitled The Man-Eating Myth opened up the issue with a strong argument in favour of the belief that cannibalism has never been prevalent in any culture. Gardner notes that claims of institutionalized cannibalism have always been made by enemies, never the tribes themselves, and have usually proven hard to follow up. He refrains from taking sides but admits "My sympathies at the moment are with Arens."
