There are some cases of human children that, either by neglect or some unfortunate freak accident, end up being in the company of wild animals from a very young age. In some of those cases, the child was never able to adapt once it had been rescued.

- muzani 3y agoYeah, this is quite fascinating and formed my opinion on childhood education. I always just assumed you could learn language later in life, but apparently it's impossible. So there's some crazy advantage early education has, but it's not yet clear what it is.
