Strangely, the question is “How long could the human race survive on only cannibalism?” A pretty specific question.
But the video is titled “Could we survive eating only humans?” Which is a completely different question, because it allows the interpretation that the humans “we” are eating can eat whatever. It brings to mind the humans of Ringworld that had to fill in all of the niches of other animals.

No because we’d get prion disease like Creutzfeldt-Jakob and others.
Check out prions if you are not hospital fobiac.

You can just screen the meat for prion disease, like we do with other meat.

That’s not how it works, you don’t “check food for prions” lol.
