Is cannibalism practiced in melanesia

Cannibalism has been historically documented in some Melanesian cultures, particularly among certain groups in Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. It was often linked to rituals or warfare, where consuming the flesh of enemies was believed to confer strength or honor. However, such practices have largely ceased, and today, cannibalism is not a prevalent or accepted part of Melanesian culture. Modern legal and social norms strongly condemn any form of cannibalism in the region.
