Cannibalism is only illegal in Idaho. There is no official law that makes it a crime anywhere else in the U. S. As long as you weren’t the reason the person died, you are in the clear. BTW, I know that from randomly Googling weird laws that are still on the books; I’m not a cannibal.

Animal bones and human bones have different levels of porosity. A human bone will stick to your tongue. An animal bone will not.

I saw this on a TV show and thought it sounded crazy but possibly true, so I did some Googling.

That's not even true genetically. You can be XX, XY, XXX, and XXY. And that's just a single chromosome pair. Phenotypes can be expressed in a multitude of ways. I think life is always more complex that the simple categories we'd like to define. Even eye color comes in a while host of shades. It's not just blue, brown, and green. Spectrums exist in most things.
