Humans aren't carnivores; look at the design of our teeth. Compare them to a Tiger's teeth and understand the differences.
However, I don't need huge canines to chew the beautifully marbled prime rib I had at Morton's the other night. WOW.

I think caribe comes from archaic Spanish, the original meaning was savage / untamed. The Arawaks and Tainos were not cannibals, but it put the fear of them in the heart of the European so they did not mind the moniker. Diseases from Europe wiped out the lot in most islands of the Antilles. On Dominica (where my people are from) there is still a reserved of indigenous folks. Even though the caribs were not prone to mix with folks, I think people are pretty much jumping all over each other now.
BTW if you want to get away consider the rugged beauty of Dominica. Pirates of the Caribbean, Dead man's chest was shot there. If you want to climb you will be doing some bush wacking now Bwoy!
