I wonder how primitive is the ritual consumption of the brain, heart, kidney, liver and blood of the game killed by the new hunter. I have never heard of ritual consumption of skeletal muscle tissue, have you? I think the transference of the ritual from game harvest to destruction of a feared human enemy is a step easily taken, especially in a protein-poor society.

Musingly yours,
