Lifestyle Desk, New Delhi. The Fore Tribe, living in the eastern areas of Papua New Guinea, was quite famous for its unique customs. This tribe liked to live alone and was known for its unique lifestyle. However, there is a chapter in the history of the Fore tribe which is extremely terrifying and heartbreaking.

Actually, the practice of cannibalism was prevalent in this tribe. They not only ate human flesh but also considered the brains of dead people as food. Due to this strange practice (Human Brain Eating Tradition), many types of diseases spread in this tribe.

You must have often heard about superhumans in films, who are endowed with supernatural powers. However, the people of the Fore tribe were called superhumans because they had developed an amazing ability despite eating human flesh. The people of this tribe had developed an immunity in their bodies that protected them from serious brain-related diseases. This ability was so special that it remains a mystery for scientists even today.

The heartbreaking tradition of the Fore tribe

According to a report by the Washington Post in 2015, the Fore tribe had a heartbreaking tradition. When a person died, they would eat their flesh to pay tribute to the deceased. In this practice, women and children would eat the brain of the deceased, while men would eat the flesh of the remaining body. Let us tell you, the brain contains a dangerous type of molecule which entered the body of women due to this practice. This molecule caused a terrible disease called 'Kuru', which initially killed about 2% of the tribe.

This is how they used to do funeral rites

When someone from the Fore tribe died, people used to celebrate a special kind of celebration. In this celebration, they used to eat the flesh of the dead person. Women used to eat the brain of the dead person. They used to do this to honor their dead relative.

This tribe believed that if they buried the dead person in the ground or left him somewhere, insects would eat his body. They thought that it would be better if their loved ones ate the dead person's body. They would leave the gall bladder of the dead person, but would roast and eat the flesh of the rest of his body.

A deadly disease had spread

Some people living in Papua New Guinea had a very dangerous disease. This disease was discovered by doctors in New Guinea. Due to this disease, people were unable to walk, eat and gradually became very weak. Eventually, they died from this disease. This tribe named this disease 'Kuru', which means 'trembling with fear'. About 2% of the people of this tribe died due to this disease. Later scientists discovered that Kuru disease is caused by a special type of protein called Prions. These proteins are very special, they can multiply themselves and can also spread to other people.
