Feral Children are children who were raised by animals in the wild, in "total isolation" from any human contact.
There was documentation of some of the cases of such children, they can be found here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feral_child
Some of these children never catch up with humanity in terms of education, while some do catch up and live normal life.
A comparison of two cases can show us:
What I noticed is that the older the kid is during the time of abandonment from their parents the better they would catch up with human culture -language;habits...etc- which is innate capacity.
But what about God, and thinking about a creator?
Madina's story -which is the last I quoted- says she is mentally healthy. So all these children are probably healthy mentally except those who had a trauma.
The question I want to ask though: do we compose our philosophy about the existence of a creator naturally, or do we copy other humans?
Do these feral children ever think about God or not as they grow up a little?

Quote:Raised by ostriches[/url]
The "ostrich boy" – A boy named Hadara was lost by his parents in the Sahara desert at the age of two, and was adopted by ostriches. At the age of 12, he was rescued and taken back to society and his parents. He later married and had children. The story of Hadara is often told in west Sahara. In 2000, Hadara's son Ahmedu told his father's story to the Swedish author Monica Zak, who compiled it to a book.[28] The book is a mixture of the stories told by Ahmedu and Zak's own fantasy.[29]
Quote:Andrei Tolstyk (2004) was raised by dogs in a remote part of Siberia from the age of three months to 7 years. He was neglected by his parents because he had speaking and hearing problems. Social workers who found the boy were curious about why the boy was not admitted to his local school. This boy was not able to talk as he lacked human interaction and had many dog-like characteristics including walking on all fours, biting people, and sniffing his food before eating.[18]
Quote:Madina, a three-year-old girl. Madina lived with dogs from birth until she was three years old. She slept with them in the cold, ate food with them, and played with them. Her father left her after she was born, and her mother became an alcoholic. She never looked after Madina since she was always too drunk and Madina would chew on bones from the floor with the dogs. When social workers found Madina in 2013, she acted like dogs and was not wearing any clothes. Madina was being taken care of and the doctors said that she was mentally and physically healthy even after what she had gone through.[14][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feral_child#cite_note-:0-14]
