2018 Ig Nobel Prize-winning paper Assessing the calorific significance of episodes of human cannibalism in the Palaeolithic by James Cole, published in Scientific Reports:
Did you know an average adult human male contains approximately 143,771.33 calories? And less than 25% of that is skeletal muscle? Long story short, cannibalism simply isn't an efficient diet; any cannibalism amongst humans is likely ritual or an act of desperation.
Oh, and I also started 2006 Ig Nobel Prize for Literature winner Consequences of Erudite Vernacular Utilized Irrespective of Necessity: Problems with Using Long Words Needlessly (link to .pdf) by Daniel M. Oppenheimer, published in Applied Cognitive Psychology. My grammah will be backed by science!
"Finally, the values in Tables 1 and 2 are for raw meat only. There has been much recent interest in how cooking can increase the calorie value retrieved from meat. However, given the nature of this study, it was not possible to conduct analyses on cooked human flesh."
