Absolutely agree. But the best progress made on how the brain works was to learn from people who received major brain damage/trauma. It's just slightly frowned upon to inflict brain damage to a healthy person for science. [Insert nazi or hydra joke here]. Jungle Book kids are the best study subjects without really crossing bad ethical lines. It's going to be difficult to convince well adjusted, loving humans to never speak to their offspring and teach them absolutely nothing. I'm sure there are some ethical issues there. Don't know exactly. But I know there has to be some ethical and legal problems there lol.
Just thought of this: Couldn't we argue that if it happened early enough and said "animal caretakers", I think one Ukrainian girl was literally raised by wolves, came in early enough, would the kid have psyche issues? Their frame of reference is so limited to knowing what's "normal" and what's not, that they could possibly not develop any actual psychological issues. Actually, them being taken out of that "Jungle Book" environment and integrated into human society would cause issues. Their "Jungle Book normal" was now disturbed greatly. If timeline is true, but they still have psyche issues, could possibly mean that the human brain is wired to a form of "normal" that can't deviate by some certain amount. Just spit-balling ideas.
