Mowgli is Kipling's wonderful character, captivating more than the first generation of readers. Mowgli raised by wolves, a panther and a bear. Mowgli, distinguished by beauty, intelligence and nobility. Mowgli - a marvelous tale of the jungle ...

Tarzan, brought up from the cradle by monkeys, is a hero and protector of wildlife. Sir Galahad defending the jungle fortress. According to the book, Tarzan learned to speak, could even marry and communicate with people of various social status, including representatives of high society, without revealing any monkey habits.

The only thing he has left of the monkeys is a keen sense of the pack's territory, a desire to protect his "reserve" in the jungle at any cost, a spiritual affinity with all wild animals. But since the desire to protect nature is inherent in the best of people, it can be said that Tarzan is an almost perfect example of the human race.

A variety of "Mowglis" and "Tarzans" run through all world literature, ranging from old fairy tales, in which children were brought up by animals, fairies, goblins, and brownies, ending with modern science fiction, where robots and computers have already begun to engage in education.

But the fact is that for all the attractiveness of these stories, they remain just fairy tales. A person brought up outside of human society, whether his tutors are robots or wolves, can no longer be considered a person. He is not.

In human development, there are certain boundaries, temporary thresholds, when the laying of a particular function is optimal or already becomes impossible. The child learns to speak, imitating his parents, learns to walk upright, imitating adults - after all, everyone knows that children do not immediately begin to strive to walk on two limbs, they begin by moving like animals, on all fours (a large area of ​​\u200b\u200bsupport, less likely to fall). If a child is not taught to walk, then he will run on all fours, even when he grows up.

By adolescence (12-13 years), the entire intellectual potential is already laid in the brain, which only develops in the future. The real Mowgli would not have been able to learn human speech, human behavior, would not have accepted the moral values ​​inherent in people. Even the ideal Mowgli Kipling, and he thinks in terms of the jungle, even when he lives with people.

People brought up outside of human society suffer from a disease called "Mowgli's syndrome". This is a combination of a number of signs that manifest themselves in those who were brought up and grew up away from people. These signs include the inability to speak, the inability to walk upright, desocialization, fear of people (people are perceived as strangers, not "members of the pack", creatures of a different breed), inability to use cutlery (one who suffers from Mowgli's syndrome can distinguish a fork from a spoon but unable to use them).

"Mowgli" can be taught to imitate human behavior, but it will be just training. In the same way, dogs are trained to ask for a walk, and cats are trained to use a box of sand. True, if a child was returned to people before the onset of the "adolescent threshold" of 12-13 years, he can still be adapted to society, but mental deviations will remain with him until the end of his life.

For those who have crossed the age threshold, true adaptation is impossible. For example, the real Tarzan would never have learned to walk upright, since these skills are laid in early childhood, and Tarzan got to the monkeys quite a crumb. The only thing that would be possible for Tarzan is a "monkey" walk, based on the knuckles.

A girl who disappeared 19 years ago at the age of 8 was found in Cambodia; in one of the African countries, a flock of monkeys sheltered a ten-year-old boy; two sisters were brought up by a pack of wolves; a nine-year-old boy became the "leader" of a pack of yard dogs - these are all real stories. Despite the different situations, they have one thing in common: all children raised by animals suffer from the rarest disease in the world, called "Mowgli's syndrome".

Among the general signs of "Mowgli's syndrome" are speech disorders or inability to speak, inability to walk upright, desocialization, lack of skills in using cutlery, fear of people. At the same time, they often have excellent health and much more stable immunity than people living in society. Psychologists often noted that a person who has spent quite a long time among animals begins to identify himself with his "brothers"

A case is known when a girl raised by dogs identified herself with a dog even when she learned to speak. From her point of view, she did not belong to humanity, but was precisely a dog. It happens that absolutely healthy in the familiar animal environment "Mowgli" die, once in human society - for them this is not only a physiological, but also a deep cultural shock.

Thessa boy, about twelve years old, discovered in the south of Ceylon. He was brought up by monkeys and, thus, the child at first could not even stand on his own, however, he imitated the behavior of monkeys in every detail. Interestingly, such a “monkey Mowgli” showed greater adaptation to the human environment than “wolf children” - after a couple of weeks he wore clothes and ate from a plate.

There are more children with Mowgli syndrome raised by wolves than you might think. Kaspar from Nuremberg, Peter from Hannover, Kamala from India, Victor from Averon and others. The earliest known case of a feral child is considered to be a wolf child from Hesse, found in 1344.

An amazing baby panda lives in the home of hunter Kuan Wai. Due to a congenital abnormality, the child is covered with thick hair and, apparently, therefore, was abandoned by his parents. But the pandas took care of the baby and at the age of about two years he was caught and adopted by a hunter in a new family.

In the modern world, about fifty-three cases of human collisions with "Mowgli's syndrome" have already been registered. Humanity does not have complete information about this "disease". There are only theories and assumptions about the causes of the appearance, methods of treating "Mowgli's syndrome".

In general terms, "Mowgli's syndrome" is a mental and physiological deviation of a person in development. The causes of this symptom is the prolonged stay of a person in an environment represented only by animals. All registered Mowgli children are a random finding of children surrounded by animals (dogs, monkeys, wolves, leopards, antelopes, etc.). The found children were examined by doctors who concluded that these children not only lagged behind their peers in development, but their behavior itself resembled the behavior of the animals with which they were found.

A person - a real person, and not a creature that has human physiology - can be brought up only in society, in a society, in a group of people. Only personal communication allows you to receive and share experience, which includes both the elementary principles of hygiene that parents teach children, and cultural and spiritual values. The highest spiritual values ​​generally cannot be transferred in any other way, except for direct communication in society. If a person is a member of many different groups, communities of people, then he has the opportunity to develop in many directions.

A person is a creature that acquires habits and adopts the lifestyle of the society in which he lived from childhood, up to about 5 years. This has long been proven by child psychologists who have been solving the question of at what age the basic character of a person is laid. And once again this fact was confirmed by such a phenomenon as “ Mowgli syndrome».

From birth, the child begins to copy the graying of those around him - mother and father, relatives. Even wild animals can be such an example. Getting into an alien wild environment in early childhood and being brought up by animals, a person easily adopts their habits and becomes “one of them”.

Evidence for this is mass. An example of this is boy Tissa, whose age can be determined approximately - twelve years. It was discovered in the south of Ceylon. Apparently abandoned by his parents, Tissa was adopted by the monkeys and lived in their "society" for at least 10 years. When people discovered him, the boy could not stand and imitated monkey behavior in great detail. After people took him in, Tissa gradually adapted to the human environment, after two weeks he was able to wear clothes, eat from a plate, but a complete restructuring of his psyche into a human did not happen.

There are also cases when children were brought up by wolves. These babies later adapted to the human environment much more difficult than in the case of monkeys. Although there are many more examples of "wolf Mowgli". In Nuremberg, they found a boy named Kaspar, in Hannover, a child named Peter is a pupil of wolves, in India - Kamal, in Aveyron - Victor. The list goes on.

And the earliest such known case occurred back in 1344, in Hesse, where they found a feral child raised by wolves. India by Mowgli syndrome is in the lead, because because of the poverty present there, parents often have to leave their children. In total, the number of wolf children found starts at 16. The peculiarities of all wolf children were that they could not see during the day, hid from sunlight, slept for five hours, could only eat raw meat and lapped liquid. They walked on all fours and even “hunted” if they were released into the yard where there were poultry. Such children, as a rule, do not live long.

What is Man. And what can he be.

Know yourself, know the world. How to know yourself? How to remember who you are? Human memory is weak, we constantly forget something and try to remember, we stir up the past. We try to get to the bottom of the truth, we look for it everywhere.
We are looking for the beginning, the beginning of everything, the beginning of the world. But there is no beginning and no end.
There is only a reference point. A line on which there is a point and everything has this point. The person has it too. This is called Birth, then childhood, youth, adolescence, etc. Let's take and consider the starting point of a person's life.
The birth of a child is a beautiful moment. Joy to parents, a new person has come into the world. The birth of a person is happiness. That's what overshadows our happiness? They say original sin lies on a person, sin lies on all mankind. There was a sin, there was a mistake. No matter how it sounds, a mistake or a sin must be corrected. Correct the mistake and atone for original sin. Whoever can atone for the mistake is the one who made it, but the person is weak by nature and alone can not cope, but the world will help and the whole world can cope and atone for both his sins and the sins of the whole world. In one fell swoop, and someone has to do it. And people will cope with the mistake, they will cope with the whole world.
But in order to redeem them, one must understand what was wrong.
It's the 21st century now, and science has made many discoveries. And it's moving on. The human genome has been found, and only 5% of it is occupied by human DNA, the value is not constant, some have more, others have less. Geniuses and mentally retarded people are born. And this is wrong. And this is a mistake, nature does not allow mistakes, does a mistake come out in a person? The rest of the human genome was called garbage, which sounds rude, but it doesn't matter. They know better. But where does the garbage come from, where can the garbage in a person come from, a child is born and comes into the world with a pure soul and suddenly garbage. How can this be?
But after all, nothing happens just like that. In nature, everything is interconnected. Let's think and see, among you are people of different professions.
In many ancient treatises there are references to the fact that a person can have great abilities, clairvoyants, telepaths and other unlimited abilities.
Consider a person and where such abilities are concentrated in him. One of the religions says that a person who discovers such abilities in himself has everything, energy, strength. And the center of this force is connected with the work of the whole organism and with the work of all organs in a person. Vision, hearing, harmonic background and mood swings, nervous plexus depend on it. It used to be called the solar plexus. The sun spins the web of life. This center is located between the solar plexus and the navel. What and where is unclear, people do not see, what cannot be felt, but they know that there is something there. let's fall down. There have been many attempts throughout the ages.
But with the fact that on earth you can deal with a person, and all together, I believe we can. What is in each of us. Navel. There was an umbilical cord, and now a navel. Somewhere in the depths, everyone considers himself the navel of the earth. It is very difficult to drown out your own self, it constantly bursts out.
The umbilical cord is a long thread that connects the mother and the child, its length is up to 70 cm. This is an elastic belt that encircles the baby's body in the womb. Only in humans the umbilical cord has such a length, in animals it is very short. This makes me think, why? And why is it said that man drags out an animal existence. It sounds rude and unpleasant to hear. What is the reason then. Why a person has a long one, an animal has a short one. Only this is the difference, although the structure of the organs is the same.
Consider a baby in the womb, the baby breathes oxygen, it is carried by paired umbilical veins. Blood enriched with oxygen penetrates to it and it breathes and eats. Two other arteries carry blood saturated with carbon dioxide. The child develops. And grows. The latest developments of scientists say that a one-day embryo contains information that occupies the volume of 50 books, 33 volumes each. This is a powerful intellect, incredible opportunities. Where are they?
Where do they disappear and who is to blame? What is wrong, and whose is it?
The timing of cutting the cord is of great importance. In the case of rapid cutting, oxygen-rich blood does not have time to return from the placenta to the circulatory system, the level of hemoglobin and iron decreases. It turns out that the faster the umbilical cord is cut, the worse the child’s brain is, for some time the brain is without oxygen, because the child does not breathe on its own, and sometimes more than one minute passes, and they beat him, he has not had time to be born, he already knows pain, not yet starting to breathe .... How long does oxygen starvation last and how harmful it is for the newly born fragile mind, which is still blind and deaf, and how this affects mental abilities. One can only guess.
The golden mean, the golden ratio, everything has it, you just need to find or see it. The golden thread leading to the goal to the mind, the small mind and the big mind. We tear the thread, not knowing what we are doing, we broke it at the wrong time, did something at the wrong time, and so life goes on, years flow, centuries fly, we live and call it life, without even seeing or noticing anything around. And how we want to see and hear, it’s not given to say, but whether we want it.

Perhaps someone will object, but if you analyze it from a scientific point of view, you will understand the idea.

Hypoxia (other Greek ??? - under, below + Greek ??????? - oxygen) - the state of oxygen starvation of both the whole organism as a whole and individual organs and tissues, caused by various factors: breath holding, painful conditions, LOW OXYGEN in the atmosphere. Due to hypoxia, irreversible changes develop in vital organs. The most sensitive to oxygen deficiency are the central nervous system, heart muscle, kidney tissue, and liver. May cause an inexplicable feeling of euphoria, leads to dizziness, low muscle tone.
Manifestations of hypoxia depend on the specific cause of occurrence (example: skin color in case of carbon monoxide poisoning is bright pink, oxidizers - earthy, in case of respiratory failure - BLUE) and age (example: hypoxia in the fetus and adult).

How is the birth of a child.
There is oxygen and carbon dioxide in the umbilical cord, the umbilical cord is cut and pulled immediately after birth, a knot is tied and most often the child has not yet begun to breathe. It turns out that the baby is a vacuum for some time, an internal vacuum. This does not happen in all cases, but there is an expression born cyanotic, then turned pink, began to breathe. Why this happens, I will try to describe. During childbirth, the level of oxytocin increases, the vessels narrow and close, there is a rapid process of umbilical cord atrophy. Normally, blood flow through the vessels of the umbilical cord is maintained only for 5-20 minutes after the birth of the child. It turns out that during this period of time, even the child breathes independently or not, the process is going on.
How it happens can be considered, for example, a quadrilateral, the two upper corners are oxygen and carbon dioxide, residual phenomena. The two lower corners are heating and cooling, cooling comes from water.
But heating due to what happens in the body, in the blood. The hormone oxytocin creates a rotational movement, there is an excitation of the blood, the hypothalamus 5% and the pituitary gland are involved. They work like two in one.
One top, one bottom. This is blood pressure, blood presses on the walls of blood vessels, or the excess pressure of the fluid in the circulatory system over atmospheric pressure.
The hypothalamus creates upper pressure, due to the splashing of a large amount of oxytocin into the blood, the process occurs rapidly for 5-20 minutes,
The pressure is very large. It works as an accelerator, an amplifier of great power and speed, it is a whirlwind of blood pressure. This is the top.
The pituitary gland is the lower natural, atmospheric pressure, what is inherent in us by nature, the pituitary gland is responsible for the lower pressure. This is what is inherent in us at conception, that memory. This is bottom.
Both should work synchronously, harmoniously.
But they create a resonance, it is difficult to find words that are not physics. But it looks like a pendulum, / the phenomenon of a sharp increase in the amplitude of forced oscillations /. And too strong top depresses the bottom. The bottom is responsible for the work of the pineal gland, the mystical gland. meta.
Why is this happening. The reason is very simple, those 5-20 minutes of minutes the child is a clogged vessel in which there are everything, all four at once. These are oxygen, carbon dioxide, and blood, and which have two forces, an incredibly high upper pressure, the process of atrophy is fast and a calm lower pressure is low.
The top oppresses the bottom, there is a point, the middle is golden, they will adjust themselves, they will work synchronously.
The cork interferes, it is impossible to create a closed vessel. You need to wait for the time, those 5-20 minutes while the process is going on.
The knotted umbilical cord, the cork interferes. There is an expression, the child lies and blows bubbles, he can’t cope. Washing with water speeds up the cooling process, but also does not have time. As a result, our hypothalamus and pineal gland are depressed.
We must be born different.
Time, everything is decided by time, you need to wait and not rush.

Mowgli is a popular character created by Kipling. For a long time, this hero continues to be admired by both book lovers and moviegoers. And there is nothing strange in this, because Mowgli embodies beauty, intelligence and nobility, while being just a fairy tale of the jungle.

There is another fairly well-known character raised by monkeys. We are, of course, talking about Tarzan. According to the book, he managed not only to integrate into society, but also to successfully marry. At the same time, animal habits almost completely disappeared.

Is there a place for fairy tales in the real world?

Naturally, the stories look quite attractive, they take your breath away, take you into the world of adventure and make you believe that the characters will find a place for themselves in any country, in any conditions. But in reality, things don't look so great. There have never been such cases when a child, brought up by animals, eventually became a man. He will develop Mowgli's syndrome.

The main features of the disease

The development of people is characterized by the presence of specific boundaries, when certain functions are laid down. Teaching speech, imitating parents, walking upright and much more. And if the child does not learn all this, then he will not do this when he grows up. And the real Mowgli is unlikely to learn human speech, start walking not on all fours. And he would never understand the moral principles of society.

So what does Mowgli syndrome mean? We are talking about a number of signs and parameters that those who were not brought up in a human society possess. This is the ability to talk, and the fear caused by people, and the non-recognition of cutlery, etc.

Of course, a "human cub" raised by animals can be taught to imitate the speech or behavior inherent in people. But Mowgli's syndrome turns it all into an ordinary training. Naturally, a child is capable of adapting to society if he is returned before the age of 12-13. However, he will still suffer from mental disorders.

There was a case when a child was brought up by dogs. Over time, the girl was taught to talk, but from this she did not consider herself a man. In her opinion, she was just a dog and did not belong to human society. Mowgli's syndrome sometimes leads to death, because children raised by animals, getting to people, begin to experience more and not only physiological.

Specialists know a large number of stories of "human cubs", and only a small part of them is known to society. In this review, the most famous Mowgli children will be considered.

Nigerian chimpanzee boy

In 1996, the boy Bello was found in the jungles of Nigeria. It was difficult to determine his exact age, but according to experts, the child was only 2 years old. The foundling was found to have physical and mental abnormalities. Apparently because of this, he was left in the forest. Naturally, he could not stand up for himself, but the chimpanzees not only did not harm him, but also accepted him into their tribe.

Like many other feral children, a boy named Bello adopted animal habits, began to walk like monkeys. The story became widespread in 2002, when the boy was found in a boarding school for abandoned children. At first, he often fought, threw various things, ran and jumped. However, over time, he became more calm, but he never learned to talk. In 2005, Bello died of unknown causes.

Bird boy from Russia

Mowgli's syndrome made itself felt in many countries. Russia was no exception. In 2008, a six-year-old boy was found in Volgograd. Human speech was unfamiliar to him, instead the foundling chirped. He acquired this skill thanks to his parrot friends. The boy's name was Vanya Yudin.

It should be noted that physically the guy was not injured in any way. However, he was not able to get in touch with people. Vanya had bird-like demeanor, used his hands to express emotions. This was due to the fact that for a long time the guy lived without leaving the room in which his mother's birds lived.

Although the boy lived with his mother, but, according to social workers, she not only did not talk to him, but also treated him like another feathered pet. At the present stage, the guy is in the center of psychological assistance. Specialists are trying to bring him back from the bird world.

Boy raised by wolves

In 1867, a 6-year-old boy was found by Indian hunters. It happened in a cave where a pack of wolves lived. Dean Sanichar, and that was the name of the foundling, ran on all fours, like animals. They tried to treat the guy, but in those days there were not only appropriate means, but also effective methods.

At first, the "human cub" ate raw meat, refused dishes, tried to tear off his clothes. Over time, he began to eat cooked meals. But he never learned to speak.

wolf girls

In 1920, Amala and Kamala were discovered in a wolf den in India. The first one was 1.5 years old, the second one was already 8 years old. Most of the girls' lives were raised by wolves. Although they were together, experts did not consider them sisters, since the age difference was quite significant. They were just left in the same place at different times.

Feral children were found under rather interesting circumstances. At that time, rumors about two ghostly spirits that lived with wolves became widespread in the village. Frightened residents came to the priest for help. He, hiding near the cave, waited for the wolves to leave and looked into their lair, where the children who were raised by the animals were found.

According to the priest's description, the girls were "disgusting creatures from head to toe", moved exclusively on all fours, and did not possess any human features. Although he had no experience in adapting such children, he took them with him.

Amala and Kamala slept together, refused clothing, ate only raw meat, and howled frequently. They could no longer walk upright, as the tendons with joints in the arms had become shorter as a result of physical deformation. The girls refused to communicate with people, trying to return back to the jungle.

After some time, Amala died, because of which Kamala fell into deep mourning and even cried for the first time. The priest thought that she would soon die, so he began to work more actively on her. As a result, at least a little, but Kamala learned to walk, and even learned a few words. But in 1929 she died due to kidney failure.

Children raised by dogs

Madina was discovered by experts at the age of three. Her upbringing was not done by people, but by dogs. Madina preferred to bark, although she knew some words. After the examination, the found girl was recognized as mentally and physically complete. It is for this reason that the dog girl still has a chance to return to a full life in human society.

Another similar story happened in Ukraine in 1991. Parents left their daughter Oksana at the age of three in a kennel, where she grew up for 5 years, surrounded by dogs. In this regard, she adopted the behavior of animals, began to bark, growl, moved exclusively on all fours.

The dog girl knew only two words - "yes" and "no". After a course of intensive therapy, the child nevertheless acquired social and verbal skills, and began to talk. But psychological problems have not gone anywhere. The girl does not know how to express herself, and quite often tries to communicate not by speech, but by showing emotions. Now the girl lives in Odessa in one of the clinics, often spending her time with animals.

wolf girl

The Lobo girl was first seen in 1845. She, along with a flock of predators, attacked goats near San Felipe. After a year, information about Lobo was confirmed. She was seen eating the meat of a slaughtered goat. The villagers began searching for the child. It was they who caught the girl and named her Lobo.

But, like many other Mowgli children, the girl tried to break free, which she did. The next time she was seen only 8 years later, by the river with wolf cubs. Frightened by the people, she picked up the animals and hid in the forest. No one else met her.

wild child

The girl Rochom Piengeng went missing with her sister when she was only 8 years old. They found her only 18 years later in 2007, when her parents no longer hoped for it. The wild cub was found to be a peasant from whom the girl tried to steal food. Her sister was never found.

They worked a lot with Roch, tried with all their might to return to normal life. After a while, she even began to say some words. If Rochom wanted to eat, she pointed to her mouth, often crawled on the ground and refused clothes. The girl was never used to human life, having fled into the forest in 2010. Since then, her whereabouts are unknown.

Child locked in a room

To all those who are interested in children raised by animals, a girl named Jean is known. Although she did not live with animals, she resembled them in her habits. At the age of 13, she was locked in a room with only a chair and a pot tied to it. Also, my father liked to tie Jean and close her in a sleeping bag.

The parent of the child abused his power, did not allow the girl to talk, punishing her for trying to say something with a stick. Instead of human interaction, he growled and barked at her. The head of the family did not allow to communicate with the child and her mother. For this reason, the girl's vocabulary included only 20 words.

Jean was discovered in 1970. At first, she was thought to be autistic. But then the doctors still found that the child was a victim of violence. For a long period, Jean was treated in a children's hospital. But this did not lead to any significant improvements. Although she was capable of answering some questions, she still had the demeanor of an animal. The girl kept her hands in front of her all the time, as if they were paws. She didn't stop scratching and biting.

Subsequently, the therapist began to deal with her upbringing. Thanks to him, she learned sign language, began to express emotions through drawings and communication. The training lasted for 4 years. Then she went to live with her mother, and then she ended up with foster parents, with whom the girl was again unlucky. The new family forced the child to become mute. Now the girl lives in Southern California.

Wild Peter

Mowgli's syndrome, examples of which were described above, also manifested itself in a child living in Germany. In 1724, a hairy boy was discovered by people who moved only on all fours. They managed to catch him with the help of deception. Peter didn't talk at all and ate only raw foods. Although later he began to do simple work, he never learned to communicate. Wild Peter died at an advanced age.

Conclusion

These are not all examples. You can endlessly list people who have Mowgli syndrome. The psychology of wild foundlings is of great interest to many specialists, if only because not a single person raised by animals has ever been able to return to a normal, full life.

Mowgli Syndrome

It is known that in 1798 a naked boy at the age of about 10 came out of the forest in the province of Aveyron in France. The villagers noticed him from time to time, but no one knew what kind of child he was. It is quite possible that this was one of the many abandoned children left to die in the forest in those difficult times when infanticide was common - during the era of the French Revolution. But Vikt?ru, as he was later called, somehow managed to survive. When the locals finally caught him, the news of Victor reached Paris, where this remarkable case caused a great stir. In the spirit of the Revolution, the philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau argued that man is born good by nature, but society corrupts the "noble savage" within us. Victor was the first case to test this assertion, and the Parisian intelligentsia was eager to meet him. Without being corrupted by society, he could be the living embodiment of the noble savage according to Rousseau.

However, Victor was far from our ideas of nobility. He was fierce, made animal noises and did not restrain the urge to defecate. At first they thought that he was deaf and dumb, so he spent the first time at the National Institute of the Deaf and Dumb, but it soon became clear that Victor's problem was deeper than a simple inability to communicate. A young Parisian doctor, Jean Itard, who treated children at the institute, described Victor as follows in his memoirs: “An ugly, dirty boy, prone to convulsions, often with convulsive movements, constantly swaying, like some animals in a menagerie, biting and scratching those who contradicts him, not expressing any gratitude to those who care about him ... In short, indifferent to everyone and not paying attention to anything.

Itard believed that patient training would allow Victor to integrate into society. Initial progress looked promising as Victor began to understand verbal commands. He even learned to wear clothes. But then his communication skills stopped developing despite 5 years of intensive training. Then Itard abandoned his attempts to return Victor to the society of people. Victor remained in the care of Itard's housekeeper until his death in 1828.

Wild or feral children like Vikt?ru periodically appeared, fueling the interest of the public. What will a child become without parental education and the experience of other people? Will they ever be able to speak? In 1493, King James IV of Scotland reportedly ordered two babies to be sent to Inckeit Island in the Firth of Forth to be raised by a mute woman because he wanted to know what language would be spoken by children who had never heard other people speak. . According to the chronicles of Robert Lindsay of Pitscotty, who later described this incident, "it was said that they spoke good Hebrew."

It is clear that feral children for centuries excited the imagination of thinkers who were interested in the problem of the relationship between nature and education. This is reflected in the literature as well. Remember the wolf-raised boy Mowgli from The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling or Tarzan, the hero of books by Edgar Rice Burroughs?

We are interested in this topic because we want to know what are the natural qualities of a person and what he learns from the environment. What will be his Self in the absence of parental influence?

However, most of the reported cases of Mowgli children suffer from a lack of accurate information and details. In one well-documented case in the 1970s, psychologists studied Jeanie, a 14-year-old girl who had been socially isolated since infancy. She lived in a secret room in her mentally ill grandfather's apartment in Los Angeles. Like Victor, her ability to communicate and understand remained limited, despite the best efforts of speech therapists and child psychologists to rehabilitate Jeanie.

Jeanie's case has been used as evidence for the existence of a critical period of social development, but without knowing the initial state of such children, it is still difficult to draw firm conclusions. Perhaps they were abandoned because they already had brain damage. In reviewing Victor's case, child development specialist Uta Frith noted that the boy appeared to have signs of severe autism. We also don't know whether early malnutrition in feral children affects normal brain development, and if so, to what extent. Perhaps it is not so much the lack of social interactions that plays a role, but the lack of care and normal nutrition. However, the fall of the Romanian dictator in 1989 showed that physical care and psychological care are equally important for social development in the long run.
