Would it be that easy?
Imagine a handful of wild humans, having never had any contact with other humans, no education or anything, just put somewhere and left to themselves.
How many centuries would they need to even develop an actual language?
They might very well be totally unable to cooperate or survive at all, without a preexisting society to guide them.
Even if they don't have societies as developed at humans do, I can imagine the same would happen to different degrees with elephants, mammoths, dolphins, crows even.
