These stories were mostly dismissed as a myth, but a new study published in the journal Nature, demonstrates that Columbus’ story may yet have a grain of truth we had.
In his travels, describes the Columbus, and how he got on today Bahamas, the ‘Arawak’-a tribe may encounter. According to him, these are peace-loving people, who have been hit due to the ‘Americas’.

The second reason is that the historians are the travels of christopher Columbus is in doubt, because it is not in the Caribbean, where cannibalism practiced.
the Self-described, of Columbus, how the Arawaks, certain injuries were suffered in an encounter with the Caribs, which he used as evidence of cannibalism would be used. Here, it is never the actual evidence to be found. The only evidence of cannibalism by the Caribs were defeated by the Spanish explorers.
The King of Spain considered that, according to them, the aggressive inhabitants of the New World as slaves were allowed to be taken into account. Was that the reason for Columbus’s voyage, and its successors and assigns, to the cannibalistic acts can be described and thus have the right to be given to the local people tried to do it.
