This book covers the contextual and taxonomic diversity of cannibalism and explains its costs, benefits, and consequences for a taxonomically broad distribution of species from lower eukaryotes to higher primates. The emerging picture challenges the view that cannibalism is either abnormal behaviour or an infrequent addition to the predator's usual diet.
