Abstract: | After sifting, comparing and evaluating the stories of early explorers and travellers in Zandeland on cannibalism, one doubts of both their reliability and significance. But the accounts of early missionaries and anthropologists and the author's own research lead to the conclusion that there is a strong probability that cannibalism was practised by at any rate some Azande.
