F. Ratzel in the History of Mankind, published in the late 1800s said that centres of undisguised cannibalism existed in places so far apart as New Zealand the Marquesas, the Palliser Islands, and the Paumotus. The Hawaiian and Tahitian groups, the Society Islands, and, for a period, Tonga, were free from it during the time of the more frequent visits of Europeans towards the end of the last century. But throughout Polynesia there were both objects and legends in which traces survive of a time when it extended more widely.
Cannibalism has been practiced by various indigenous tribes in the past for ritualistic or cultural reasons. Some historical accounts also suggest instances of cannibalism in times of famine or war. Overall, cannibalism is now widely condemned and considered taboo across most cultures.
Cannibalism is virtually nonexistent in today's world, with only a handful of tribes in certain isolated parts of the globe practicing it. These areas include: New Guinea Amazon rainforest Cameroon CongoThese are the only known regions where cannibalism still occurs. Everywhere else on the planet, it is a condemned practice that is no longer practiced.
Africa is considered to have the most indigenous tribes, with an estimated 3,000 distinct groups. These tribes have unique cultures, languages, and traditions that have been preserved over centuries.

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."
Cannibals eat human flesh. Some pygmy tribes may be cannibalistic, most are not. Cannibalism these days is mostly for ritualistic purposes, but some cannibalism is still practiced as a response to food supply issues.
Yes some European cultures did.

Tribes often had specific terms for cannibalism that varied by culture and language. In many cases, they referred to it in relation to the context of warfare, ritual, or survival. For instance, some tribes viewed cannibalism as a means of honoring the dead or absorbing their strength. Overall, the terminology and understanding of cannibalism were deeply intertwined with the cultural beliefs and practices of each tribe.
Humans who engage in cannibalism, the act of consuming human flesh, may do so for various reasons, including cultural practices, survival situations, or psychological disorders.

Overall, cannibalism is considered taboo and is illegal in most parts of the world.
