The Korowai people otherwise known as the tree house people also participate in ritual/mortuary cannibalism. These people living in the jungles of indonesia are not aware of the diseases that run rapid through the jungles and mysterious deaths are often seen to be caused by a khakhua or a evil spirit from the netherworld. When reading this portion of the book the author mentions this evil spirit only inhabits and kills men never women. It rose the question as to why? Why do they believe that this evil spirit can only inhabit and kill men? Another question I had was answered rathe quickly in the book. I proposed the question why are the children not allowed to participate in the feast? the answer was rather simple and spiritual, the answer was that the spirit called the khakhua was to dangerous to enter the body of the child as they were vulnerable. The kororwai do not believe that the khakhua are people thus it is okey to eat the body.
