I'm just wondering, if I ate a Chimpanzee would it be considered cannibalism? I'm not sure H. Sapiens sapiens eating H. Neanderthalensis is much different from H. Sapiens sapiens eating Pan troglodytes.

Also, I'm not clear on whether the stigma against cannibalism is mainly based on social pressure or stems from our biological programming.
