1:27 , the reason for such an odd spread is because the body was eaten by mostly women and children. The Fore Tribe believe that humans had 5 souls- one of them being a “kweala”. This soul was thought to be dangerous and could only find peace in a womb. Hence, the women would cook the body and eat it all whilst the men rarely participated. They also gave parts of the brain to children or family to pass on traits or skills. It’s a really interesting culture
Wikipedia also states that 'Women and children usually consumed the brain, the organ in which infectious prions were most concentrated, thus allowing for transmission of kuru. The disease was therefore more prevalent among women and children'. That is why the chart is as such.
Yes the Fore tribe female members were the looked at as the strongest members thus they were the ones who could eat the flesh of the dead relatives. This was ritual and done because they believed the flesh was one of the 5 forms of the human soul and it wasn't safe to leave it decay. It must be consumed by surviving kin. This also enabled their deceased loved ones' souls to rise up and avenge their death. So it's said that's why it was so disproportionately female who became ill. And as you see in the chart children were the next largest group, both sexes. This is because it was common for moms aunts and sisters would sneak pieces of their relatives to the kids,especially the brain pieces as it was considered a delicacy . And the brain and spine is where the prions are and that's where they catch it. Another form of this disease is mad cow's disease or the human form Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD). Or AKA my worst fear and the worst possible way to die!
Don't eat any flesh related to the brain and spinal column. Prion diseases (Kuru, vCJD, BSE, etc.) tend to affect the nervous system, and can be spread by ingesting the affected flesh. It requires temperatures of up to 900F to destroy the prion, so cooking the flesh will not destroy the prion. Likewise, common chemical treatments (alcohol, bleach, etc.) don't affect it. Interestingly, scrapie is known to affect sheep, however, humans haven't been known to get a prion disease from eating brain matter of affected sheep, although feeding affected sheep to cows is believed to have led to BSE in the UK.
The title does refute that the cause of death is laughing. Though I am not sure how many people believed that laughter is what resulted in death for kuru cases.

My grandfather got Kuru aka creutzfeld Jacob disease as a pow in New Guinea in ww2 under Japanese occupation it got bad in 87 he almost shot his wig and my aunt after becoming enraged by watching the Iran contra hearing and when he snapped out of a march toward them he utilized the pistol on himself… my aunt kept him alive until the choice was made to pull the plug because his modern equivalent on the Glasgow coma scale was essentially equivocal to the modern concept of a living cadaver… beware the diagnosis of spontaneous CJD because you cannot autoclave a prion and spinal taps carry some small risk… a test before invasive spinal injection would eliminate the risk… the risk is still low but be very curious as to why women have it more frequently in the modern age…this and exposure to paraquat destroyed two generations of my modern family… not ancestors..
My uncle died of Creutzfeld Jacob in 1998. . In a matter of weeks he went from being a remarkably fit and still brilliant retiree with a very active life to not recognizing family, then gone. No clue how he contracted it. He never traveled to anywhere I've heard of Kuru or mad cow disease. Aside from being a nuclear physicist since the Manhattan Project his life involved no uncommon hazards and I can't imagine how splitting atoms would correlate with a prion disease. I sympathize with your family's trauma. What a heartbreaking experience.✌🖖
@@margaretwordnerd5210I’m so sorry for your loss 💔 CJD doesn’t need a cause, usually it doesn’t, sometimes it’s just completely random- could also be due to genetics. 80% of all CJD cases are sporadic
Prion deseases can also occure because of genetic defects (If the desease is transmitted by eatin humans, how do you think the first infection happened?) and can be transmitted via animals (like the mad cow desease). The chronic wasting desease of deer (also called zombie deer) is also a prion desease. Prions are very hard to destroy an can stay infectious over a long period of time so they might become a larger threat in the future.
Various kinds of prions cause disease. One type causes scrapie in goats, but humans are immune to it. Another type causes bovine spongiform encephalopathy. Humans can get an aggressive form called variant CJD from eating the brain, spinal cord, or nerves of an infected cow. Centuries ago, there were similar cases in humans, and the disease is named CJD, but it takes decades to develop.
