Had a discussion with my elder brother about a friend of mine that just changed to a strenuous bank job from a much more liberal environment in customer service. At first, my friend couldn't just cope with the bank job, and had issues settling but eventually did. My brother then told me about the amazing reality of Feral children, kids taken care of by wild animals. On researching on the subject, I was amazed that cartoons like Jungle boy, George of the Jungle e.t.c (thanks to teleturbies I signed off cartoons completely….except walt disneys though) were all based on real stories. So these are what I noticed about feral children and mans ability to adapt

1. Necessity is the mother of evolution- these kids developed wonderful features that allowed them to blend into their new environments. Claws, speed, and even language skills for communication. In our present world, we always find it difficult to CHANGE status quo(I know Sai Buhari fans are smiling from ear to ear now)

2. We are Homo…. - Just because the last known scientific documentations suggest that we are at our most advanced stage does not limit us to whatever we can, and want to do.
3. Survival skills would bring the best out of YOU! Mehn even pastor no wan die o, and survival skills would definitely aim at preserving you for as long as it can. However these skills are developed almost instinctively by humans, and its part of the amazing fearures of we humans. These children's survival skills instinctively allowed them to develop unimagined features to further preserve them. So the next time you think you've had the worst life ever and wanna jump off 3MB, just remember some people grew up within a pack of wolves and bleeping survived! The jungle called Lagos can't do worse
4. Man has three basic needs… Feral children borrowed just one; Food- Feral children have adapted to their environment and have no knowledge of the need for clothing and basic shelter needs. It proves that we can survive on much less than what we actually have
5. Widely acclaimed enemies could have a heart- One of the strangest feral children I came across was the she wolf. Brought up among carnivores that crave flesh makes me realize that even your enemies could have compassion. I don’t believe in stereotypes, id allow you to prove urself before judging you. I think this could go a long way in helping the relationships we build.
You guys could also add ur observations. Think I wanna learn how to run like a gazelle now o

Or monkeys.
