Index – Science – Can a child raised by wolves survive?

Since Homo sapiens existed, we have always lived in hordes, tribes, clans. And those who seriously sinned against the rules, customs, laws, were expelled from the community, which was equivalent to the death penalty. Everyone knew that man alone could not survive in the desert. Exile became a later civilized version of this, which is nothing more than a social and cultural death penalty.

Unless some kind of miracle happens.

Like the ones Romulus and Remus left alone, who were kept alive by a werewolf. According to ancient myth, this is the reason why a shepherd on the Tiber River was able to find and care for them. And when he rose, Romulus, after killing his brother Remus, was able to establish a Rome named after him.

An interesting but quite fantastic story. Even if Plutarch, the famous ancient historian, even gives exact dates: the twins were born in 771 BC. C. and Rómulo died in 717 a. C., at the age of fifty-four years.

Yet universal human memory has stories like this everywhere, all over the world. In which various protected animals keep children intentionally lost or left alive.

Tarzan loves Jane, Jane loves Tarzan.

Kipling Jungle book nowhere did his work provoke a confrontation. It would also have been difficult, as the Nobel Prize-winning English writer was born in the Indian colony, knew the jungle up close and heard many local stories. Mother Maugli is raised by Mother Wolf with her four cubs, learning the language of animals and the law of the jungle, which she believes to be cruel, but not as cruel as humans.

Tarzan, a wild boy who had fallen into the African jungle and lost his noble English parents and grew up among apes, was invented in 1912 by the American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs. He made his world famous adventures in countless processes. Millions of people bit his figure, and they were not even bothered by the fact that the face of the most famous Tarzan actor, Johnny Weissmuller of the German family in Transylvania (who was not, incidentally, a five-time Olympic swimmer and 67-time champion of the world) was always freshly shaven, with short hair and styling, his love Jane has her makeup flawless forever.

Lovely stories, kids love them.

In the last few hundred years alone, we know of many dozen cases that have been thoroughly described or documented and have actually happened.

The seven and a half year old Kamala and Amala Indians found in 1920, or the seven year old boy Ramu, also found in 1954, also found in India, grew up as wolf cubs. They were found in a condition similar to that of most wild children:

• They had no clothes. None of them could speak, only grunt.
• They all drank milk, ate raw meat, chewed bones, walked on all fours, and behaved like a wolf.
• What they also have in common is that they don’t fit in with people at all. They repeatedly tried to flee back to their known world, without success, and soon died.

István Hanyi escaped from the Esterházys

Many consider it a legend, however, in March 1749, the Kapuvár fishermen captured a boy of about 8-10 years old in a swampy part of Hanság in present-day Győr-Sopron-Moson county. He was not raised by wolves, but presumably he got lost in the swamp. And he adapted perfectly to the conditions: his body was hairy, his skin was hardened, and there were floating membrane initiatives between his fingers. He was wild, he couldn’t speak, but he held the fish in his hand, he even swam underwater. He was taken to the nearby Esterházy Castle, where the castle chief gave a detailed description of him. He was even baptized in the name of Esteban, whose translation of the Latin extract was preserved.

His fate was similar to that of his other son who lives in the wild: they couldn’t teach him to speak, they treated him harshly, he couldn’t fit in. However, he managed to escape. Many even thought they would see them in the marshes a few years later. Most of them are Jókai Anonymous castle we can know from his novel.

The older wolf boy

Stands out from its Spanish counterparts Marcos Rodriguez Pantoja, one of the most famous boys in Maugli, who is now 75 years old. He couldn’t speak either, he just grunted, cried and almost always walked on all fours. He had a miserable childhood. His mother died at the age of three, beaten by his drunken father, and sold at four to an old shepherd north of Córdoba, in the Sierra Morena mountains. He helped preserve the herd of 300 goats for three years when one day their owner suddenly disappeared and never returned. The wolves, on the other hand, appeared and the seven-year-old gradually became a member of the pack. They ate what they were; first, of course, they finished off the herd. Later he also learned which berries and mushrooms are edible.

The rehabilitation was difficult and long. Exceptionally, however, he learned to speak slowly. But only to write, to read. Experts agree that young children are more susceptible to their native language and this ability often disappears after puberty. And there is also a lot of coherence in the fact that the cultural patterns learned in childhood cannot be permanently undressed, in the case of Marcos Rodríguez Pantoja, people (empathy, attachment, moral sense) cannot be learned without human care.

Numerous studies have been carried out on him, including a book and a film about his life (Gerardo Olivares: Entrelobos, Among Wolves, 2010). They certainly couldn’t have been Wall Street wolves because

As he has been counting for years, he was adopted as a brother and the werewolf considered him his own son. While his cubs were eating, he did not give of the meat, and then he gave a piece as well. He slept in a cave with them in the company of snakes and bats.

He sees people’s world as cold and “crazy” and his past decades as excruciating. He did auxiliary work for years, especially in construction.

He loved to tell stories alone. Many were curious about it, but laughed at others.

on the love of animals for the beauty of nature after being taken under the auspices of a teacher and organized a series of school lectures for him.

He also tried to return, but in vain he addressed the wolves, as he had done as a child, none of his flocks had accepted him more. There was only one man for them, that is, a potential enemy. People remained who, in turn, “laugh at me because I don’t understand politics or football,” he said.

Therefore, his doctor recommended “laugh, everyone knows less than you.”
