Only few of the world population knew about the Fore tribe who lived in the countries of Papua New Guinea until the 1930s, when Australian gold miners in search of opportunities encountered them and they acknowledged there were around 1,000,000 people in Papua New Guinea

During the 1950s, researchers moved towards those towns and they discovered something among a tribe of around 11,000 individuals.

This tribe had a tradition of cooking and eating dead relatives during memorial services as a show of love and way of mourning.

The adult women would remove the brain of the dead relatives. They would blend it with fern, and then roast it and ate everything except the nerve bladder. They do this on the grounds that the women bodies were believed to be fit for harboring and subduing the dangerous soul that usually go with a dead body while the men feast on the skin of the corpse.

up to two hundred people out of eleven thousand population of Fore tribe died yearly as a result of a disease called KURU which means trembling in english. Once symptoms set in, it was a swift demise. First, they'd have trouble walking, a sign that they were about to lose control over their limbs. The disease was later discovered to be connected with the dead brains and dead body part they eat at funerals. This led the tribe into abolishing the tradition of eating dead relatives..
