Except in extreme cases under survival conditions, cannibalism has mainly resulted from religious and cultural practices among primitive societies. The locales for the practice ranged from Borneo and New Guinea to the Aztecs in Mexico. It is not a safe practice for any group because several diseases of the nervous system can be spread in this manner. Extreme criminal insanity also includes cases of cannibalism, which was dramatized by the fictional serial killer Hannibal Lecter, in novels by Thomas Harris.
