Modern revival of these spurious cannibal claims have been met with widespread denouncement by academics. https://around.uoregon.edu/content/researchers-denounce-revived-theory-caribbean-cannibalism https://www.sfu.ca/sfunews/stories/2021/08/dispelling-false-claims-of-cannibalistic-caribs-again.html https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-95558-7
