    How did Christopher Columbus invent the idea of “Cannibals?” While evidence of people who eat other people existed long before Columbus, the idea of tribes of “savages” in the jungle who hunt other people for food was truly birthed with Columbus. He is even the first person to ever use the word “Cannibal” to describe such people. The problem is, no such people really existed in the Caribbean islands where Columbus landed. But the myth of the savage Cannibal took on a life of its own and became a common way to excuse colonization and slavery. How did it happen? Watch the episode to find out!!!

    I enjoyed this video. However, Pope Innocent IV died in 1254, clearly much too early for Columbus (unless you took some very "poetic license"). You mention Queen Isabella giving the OK in 1503 and then say "later" the Pope did. Unusually, there were 3 Popes in 1503, but perhaps you meant the last one, Pope Julius II, who was Pope from November 1503 until 1513. I was going to share your video, until you mentioned Innocent IV. I knew that wasn't right. I have to FACT CHECK everything before I post these days because I have called out so many people on FAKE NEWS, they are just waiting for me to post something that is demonstrably, factually incorrect. If you need a good fact checker, I have qualifications I could send you.

      Hi Mark. So I saw your comment on facebook but will also respond here: I'm looking into this although it may be a larger issue than the video. Multiple sources I used to research this video all list innocent Iv, including Bill schutts book (see works cited on original video) and the article he drew from (www.persee.fr/doc/jsa_0037-9174_1984_num_70_1_2239). If you follow the link you see that citation on page 72. So I'm going to be digging into this further since I'm wondering why multiple sources list this detail as pope innocent Iv in 1510. It could be a misprint or a mistake that was never addressed. It could be that there's something in the original document that was cited in an odd way (e.g. it was a decree by pope innocent Iv that was later taken up again in 1510 to justify actions in the Americas.) Either way I'm going to keep looking and will post the update here.

    • @pbsorigins

      Mark: So it turns out that this was a conflation of a few different things in many citations, but the true answer does involve Pope Innocent IV and 1510-1513. After Columbus encountered the Caribbean in 1492, Spain was given a grant from the Pope to delineate which lands they had control over. That grant was given by Pope Alexander VI in 1493. It was noted in this papal bull that the peoples encountered be made Christians and that Christianity should be spread. In 1501 Isabella and Ferdinand sent a new governor to Hispaniola, Nicolas de Ovando. Although the crown was initially interested in switching away from the encomienda system (established so that groups of natives would be “gifted” to and enslaved by groups of Spanish colonists) they ultimately kept this method of enslavement in place, noting the 1493 grant of title from Pope Alexander VI. These legal battles were brought to a head with the arrival of the Franciscans in 1510, some of whom questioned the Spanish crown’s approach. The Spanish crown continued to use the argument that Catholic law relating to infidels had been established by Pope Innocent IV at the First Council of Lyons and the Council of Constance centuries earlier. Both councils stated that infidel dominium (or the rights of non-Christians) could only be suspended by the Church only if they violated Christian law/ heavily Eurocentric “natural law.” And this included having war waged against them. Using this as precedent alongside claims from the 1493 papal bull, in 1513, Spain’s King Ferdinand, with the assistance of legal scholars and theologians, issued the “Requerimiento.” The Requerimiento was an edict read to Indian populations during conquest and that declared if they continued to resist Spanish rule which was authorized by the 1493 papal bull, they would be enslaved. (Important to note that this document was not translated for indigenous populations when it was read.) This also drew on Pope Innocent IV’s findings on infidel dominium essentially by claiming that native populations were resisting the Crown and the orders of the Pope.
      So it seems that many citations tie together Pope Innocent IV’s influence on church doctrine relating to the treatment of infidels, with 1510 and the eventual release of the Requerimiento in 1513. But it was Pope Innocent’s influence on church doctrine that was used in Spain’s continued support for enslavement.
      I’ll add a note in the description of the video to clarify.

    Anthropologists divide cannibalism into "endocannibalism," or the eating of people within one's own group, and "exocannibalism," or the eating of people outside the group. Endocannibalism is practiced by people like the Yanomamo as part of funerary rites -- as a way of keeping the dead as close to the living family as possible. Exocannibalism is real, but it is used more as a means of threat or intimidation than as a way of securing protein.

  • @12tone
    @12tone 6 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    I'm a little late, but I can weigh in on the musical sharp question. The short version goes something like this: Around the time of the origin of modern note names, music theory was dominated by an idea called "hexachords", which are groups of six notes. The system was based three overlapping hexachords: the C hexachord, with the notes C-D-E-F-G-A, the G hexachord, with the notes G-A-B-C-D-E, and the F hexachord, with notes that we would today call F-G-A-Bb-C-D. This theory worked pretty well for composers of the time, but the problem arose that they didn't agree on what pitch "B" was. In the F hexachord, it was closer to A, whereas in the G hexachord it was closer to C. To differentiate between these two flavors of B, they called the one in the G hexachord "B durum" (hard B) and the one in the F hexachord "B molle" (soft B) and, when writing them down, they used a soft, rounded lower-case b to represent the lower one and a hard, stylized b to represent the higher one. Over time, we started to expand the concept of accidentals to fill other gaps between notes, and adapted these hard and soft Bs as general markers for raising or lowering pitches, leading to the modern flat sign, based on B molle, and the modern sharp and natural signs, both based on B durum. As far as I know, the resemblance to the pound sign is entirely coincidental, although the two probably collided around the era of the printing press. Interestingly, this history may have also led to a quirk of German notation where the two pitches between A and C, which we'd call Bb and B, are instead called B and H. This is thought to be because B durum looks a lot like a lower-case H, and transformed into one due to careless scribes. It's not clear that this explanation is accurate, though: Other theories exist for the German H, but that seems to be the most common explanation.

  • @WAValenti
    @WAValenti 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The sharp sign is actually the "newest" of the three standard accidentals. In medieval music, musica ficta were used to avoid dissonance. Mainly, this was to avoid outlining the tritone. The note most commonly altered was the note we call B-natural, which was changed to B-flat to avoid making a tritone against F. The French called this bémol, or "soft B." The flat sign was used to show a b with rounded or soft edges. To denote B-natural, a b with square edges was used. These evolved into the signs we use today. The sharp sign is actually a variant of the natural sign.

    AFAIK the few instances of pre-Colombian cannibalism, or those that took place out of his sphere of influence even after he began his genocide in the Caribbean and across Turtle Island, were overwhelmingly cultural rituals meant to demonstrate great respect and veneration of the individual being consumed. The idea of cannibalism as “secretly and malevolently hunting other humans” is purely (or at least overwhelmingly so) a result of the European actions constituting this earlier era of colonialism. Many of the (again, very few) instances of these noninfluenced cultures participating in cannibalism either consumed the flesh of elders as they died as a ritual symbolizing the passing of knowledge onto younger generations, or of military enemies, which were consumed as a show of great respect, although disagreement. These military instances were not deliberate hunts to find and kill humans, but rather followed other “more normal” instances of military violence. The idea is that no matter your disagreement or strife with an enemy, they would have likely displayed great strength and honor on the battlefield against you, and consuming their flesh was a symbol of respect and trying to take that great power into you. These may still seem strange to us today, but I want to remind that these instances were results of natural (or causes which we consider “normal”) deaths, and the cannibalism only followed those as a ritual of veneration. Cannibalism as an instance of actual dominance and objectification of other humans as game meat, essentially, only began with European Colonization, and is overwhelmingly committed by people of European descent (even to this day).

Where are the facts? These are definitely assumptions and not facts. Although, it was a fact that he brought natives back to sell. This is completely wrong whether or not they were cannibals.

    Not so fast SJW historians. They found pottery from an Amazonian culture all over the carribbean that indicates an invasion well into the time of Columbus. Even staunch anti-columbus archeologists had to admit that there is a good possibility that a cannibalistic culture had taken over the lands from the original inhabitants who came from the north. My guess is the Caribs were a darker Amazonian breed of natives which dna studies have shown some tribes in the Amazon to be distantly related to melanesians like the Papua New Gunineans who seem to still have cannibalism to this day.

    Actually canibalism did exist in some precolombians cultures, the thing is there where more for religious purposes than actually part of their diets, for example the guarani thought eating the flesh of brave and strong defeated warriors would pass their strength to them; and between the yanomami they eat the ashes of their deceased family members because they believe the energy or soul of their love ones would stay with them in that way. Of course is still arguable how common this practices really are and there is not doubt it was exagerated in many cases.

      Nido Hime If you think they were exaggerated, you should probably read about the Aztec temple steps that were covered in cascading human blood constantly and the ritualistic dances that the priests would immediately do after while wearing the victim’s skin, often followed by the victim’s body being eaten. The hearts weren’t typically eaten, though, those were either burned or left on the temples.
      Conquistadors wrote about it, but archeologists have only confirmed that they were correct, if not less horrible than the truth was. This is also why neighboring tribes feared the Aztecs and even joined the Spanish to defeat the cannibalistic and human sacrificing Aztecs.
      Also, their religion was common in a lot of South America, so similar rituals and practices were in many parts of South America. So, Columbus may not have been lying about the cannibal islands...

    So yeah, no beavers no boars, no cows, no deer, or modern chickens. I am sure people took every opportunity to get their protein in order to survive - and for the given technology and circumstances, I cannot even blame them.

    The Aztecs did engage in cannibalism. While instances of human sacrifice are much less than those reported/exaggerated by Spaniards, human sacrifice is depicted in Aztec art and architecture. It wasn't merely religious, as it served to intimidate their enemies and it is known that various limbs from sacrificed men were given as gifts to noblemen and priests as a thing of status and humiliation of enemies. The commoners were not allowed (and had no access) to the most luxurious flesh of them all it seems.

      Arturo Gonzalez-Barrios If anything, I think it was under-exaggerated by the Spanish. Archeologists have estimated that the Aztecs sacrificed about 250,000 people each year, so there was lots of blood for the temple steps, lots of ritual dances with skin, and Cannibalism.
      I do not blame the neighboring tribes that joined forces with the Spanish to fight off the Aztecs. They must have been horrified of being kidnapped for an Aztec sacrifice.

      Although the Carribean beat up by Columbus is no doubt true, there's many instances of cannibalism that are not covered here. Such as in the Famine caused by Mao tze tung 1958-1962. I've met Papuans who were so confused by Christian missionaries who said "cannibalism is bad. Don't do it. But drink the blood and eat the body of our God[sic]. It's the cornerstone of our faith". Some Māori tribes, but not all, ate their enemies caught in battle to devour their life force & shit it out - the most degrading thing that could happen. It was a fate worse than death to be eaten, and I've heard tales of mothers throwing themselves & their children off a cliff into the sea to avoid capture. This was uncommon though. The problem here is a Western Hemisphere (WH) perspective assumes what goes for WH, must follow for the Origin of Everything. Please read more widely, or specify what your topic covers.

Even char marks on remains as that was also a way to deflesh a cadaver. As to the diet of the ancient Africans, veganism is a modern development.

    Small correction, as someone who studied Christian history in university. The Popes decree on cannibalism was not hypocritical because during the time period the Catholic Church believed Jesus was mostly divine, some sects even fought that he was entirely divine.
    This idea of divinity meant his flesh and blood were pneuma, Which is Greek for breath but more accurately represents some airy divine nature that humans possess. By communing with Jesus you were embracing his divine nature, and pneuma.

They had believed he was divine from the beginning as can be seen in the New Testament, and this was taught dogmatically since 325 at the First Nicene Council.

Then using one off events such as The Donner party incident as just the same thing as say eating the heart of your enemy after battle as the same thing is also very dishonest. I'm not claiming people in history didn't "talk shit" about other cultures or people to further there own gain. It's documented as happening all the time by virtually every culture with a documented history. ALL RACES and CULTURES did this.

    It's a poor argument to say cannibalism would be rare as a dietary measure because it's inefficient, or that it’s inefficient at all. Simply comparing the caloric content of muscle from one source to another does not prove inefficiency. Unsuspecting humans are much more vulnerable prey than wild animals, being slower fairly large targets, thinner skinned, with much duller senses, and because they do not assume that they are prey. Hunting a wild animal would take a much larger investment of calories than an unsuspecting human. And an average human is over 100,000 calories, which is one heck of a payoff for the caloric investment of one spear throw. The lack of logic in this video regarding this increases skepticism of the other information presented. Also, you mentioned cannibalism occurring among Europeans, which is believable because their living conditions made them much more desperate than they would be in their European society. Is it not possible that the living conditions on some of the islands one point were hostile enough to make the inhabitants so desperate that cannibalism became acceptable in their culture? It's not like it's impossible for cultures to adopt such low moral standards. If Nazis, who I would argue were worse than cannibals, could have existed in such an era of technology, I think it is absolutely possible that cannibals could have existed in an era of much more primitive technology and hostile living conditions. And in the historical journals of those times, not all natives were labeled as cannibals, which lends credibility to the testimony because if it were made up, why not say it was true of all the tribes? The point I want to make is that it’s not nearly as hard to believe as this video makes it seem.

    • @TheRachaelLefler

      The short answer is there has almost always been cannibalism, everywhere. It has been widespread in rituals around the world. It has also been practiced when food becomes scarce due to poor crop yields, epidemics, natural disasters, and war, and when groups of explorers are out of food in the wilderness. The only reason we don't have as much today is because fewer people are starving due to modern agricultural science. And more people are adopting a rational approach to life, leaving the ritual cannibalistic tribes dwindling.

    As a descendent of Polynesian cannibals myself, it wasn't always Europeans myths and exaggerations. Among some tribes on my island we have a saying that roughly translates to "were it not for Christianity we'd still be picking our enemies flesh from our teeth"
