Which single word means ‘a person who eats human flesh’?

Explanation

A ‘cannibal’ is a person (or animal) that eats the flesh of its own species, specifically referring to a human eating human flesh in most common usage. This differs from ‘carnivore,’ which simply describes any meat-eating organism in general, without specifying that the flesh consumed belongs to the same species.
