Talk:Headhunting

False Shuar heads
I saw a French documentary of anthropologists visiting the Shuar with a head. Every Shuar they asked answered that the head was false, it didn't have the required sewn lips. The younger generation did not do it anymore, but an older man (40s, 50s, 60s?) remembered the process. They blamed outsiders on doing fake heads for selling. So maybe the replica heads are not made by Shuars but enterprising Ecuadorians. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.58.3.170 (talk • contribs) 08:05, 10 January 2005

Has headhunting died out or not?
The opening paragraph of this entry says that headhunting "appears to have died out". But the section on the Shuar says that there are splinter Shuar tribes that still practice headhunting. Could some informed person correct this inconsistency?

"many American soldiers" The claim of many needs proper citation. The citation link leads to no where. Until proper citation and link is provided this will be removed. While I believe it occurred I wonder if the calling it 'many' is an attempt at purposely exaggerating the numbers.

African Headhunting
Why no mention of African headhunting? There is plenty of evidence that it was relatively common. I have personally been attacked as a racist for suggesting this was true when I have asked about it in online groups. Why the sensitivity? And why was it omitted on this page as well? Info please.Bigdatut (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 04:50, 9 May 2010 (UTC).
 * If there are reliable sources for it, someone will add it eventually. Or you could, but I'd make sure of the reliability of any sources used. Heironymous Rowe (talk) 23:01, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

South Asia
It was said that head hunting was latter abolished with Christianity introduced in the region. It could have been abolished with the awareness and humanitarian grounds. Still millions of people here are not Christians. Before making such statements it can be good to reference. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.126.187.8 (talk) 00:55, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Could add an In Popular Culture section - e.g. Path of Exile's Headhunter
In the 2013 video game Path of Exile, the most sought-after item is a belt of tied skulls named Headhunter.

 * I see no reason to add in a pop culture section just so we can then link to a 8 year old video game.  He  iro  18:57, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

For " Modern times " section
I think it also happen in Borneo in modern times. Someone maybe look into it? (too ghoulish for me)
