What are some benefits of cannibalism?
<|assistant|>
Cannibalism can provide many benefits to a species. It can help a species gain a significant food source when other sources are lacking or inaccessible. It can also help maintain a healthy genetic diversity within a species. In certain cases, cannibalism also may protect a species from diseases, parasites, and other threats. Lastly, it can help reduce waste and the number of potential competitors when food sources are scarce.
