I got 2 new crow friends that come land on a roof near my window every day....then they fly away once I feed them....
If a child somehow survived and grew up in the wilderness without any human contact, how “human” would they be without the influence of society and culture?

I am back again with another thought provoking question. Hope you all like it

There have been a lot of cases of children growing up without any human contact usually raised by some animals. Here's a wiki page regarding this, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feral_child

@mistycloud isn't that how tarzan came to be

Well at this point he'd be more human than the majority of actual humans out there, and in the same time close to being an animal, but at least animals do not know what's good and bad unlike humans who do bad and are perfectly aware of it. The child would only take just how much he needs, he'll eat when he's hungry and he'll drink when he's thirsty, he'd have no greed or envy too, nor fury, rage lust whatever anything the boy would do would be to actually survive

@mistycloud Well the kid is going to look human but act like a wild animal. Lol not to different from some kids ive seen in my lifetime

I read about a few cases of feral children. They may never learn to speak
