I don’t know about controversial- I trust the science and the professionals 
involved couldn't be more skilled.
The historical record has documented cannibalism so that was well known
This is just   good forensic proof.
If anything it will strengthen the validity of  historical primary  sources

All,

This is one of  the most fascinating (and likely controversial)
headlines that I have seen in a while.
