The Age of Awakening: From the Young Runtu

Chapter 282
I looked at the guy who was performing, the hairy guy.

A word popped into Runtu's mind, wolf boy.

It's not an ape. It may be that he grew up with animals, and his hair is naturally thicker. He looks like a monkey.

There is a wolf boy in South Asia.

Human children who are snatched by wolves since childhood and raised by wolves are generally called wolf children.

In a mountain village, after people killed a big wolf, they found two humanoid girls raised by wolves in the wolf den. The eldest of them was about 7 or 8 years old and was named Kamala; The younger one is about 2 years old and was named Amala.Later they were sent to an orphanage to be raised.Amara died in the second year, and the eldest lived to be 2 years old.

When the wolf boy was first discovered, its physical characteristics were that it had a well-developed mandible, its canine teeth were half taller than ordinary teeth, its eyes were adapted to darkness and shone brightly, and it was afraid of fire, light and water. It slept during the day and came out to be active at night.

The nose is flat and round, with an excellent sense of smell; the ears are large and flat and can flap, and the hearing is extremely sensitive; the skin is extremely sensitive, and the arms are as long as the knees, and they walk on all fours; the cheeks and cheekbones are as high as big pimples, the head is slender, and the forehead is narrow and irregular And it has many wrinkles; its living habits are the same as those of wolves. They only know how to look for food when they are hungry and sleep when they are full; they do not eat vegetarian food but eat meat.

Do not hold it with your hands, just place it on the ground and tear it open with your teeth to eat.

He can't speak and howls like a wolf after midnight.After nine years of education, Kamala only mastered 9 words. She reluctantly learned a few sentences and began to move towards people's living habits.She was estimated to be around 45 years old when she died, but her intelligence was only that of a 16 or 3 year old child.

There is something unknown, whether the child was abandoned or captured by wolves.

There is a six-year age difference between the two children, so were they captured and raised by wolves at the same time or separately?

If it were once, then the older child would have been six years old when she was first dragged into the wolf den. If the child's physical development was normal at that time, then she would already have the characteristics of a human being. She has normal intelligence and should have mastered normal human language. Therefore, even if she is separated from the normal language environment for two years, once she returns to human society, her brain's language function will still exist. Her language model is still retained, and her language ability will return to normal soon, but it doesn't.

If they were captured by wolves twice separately, then both of them must have separated from the crowd when they were babies.If this is the case, things will be even more strange.First, because the self-survival ability of human babies is the lowest in the animal kingdom.

The survival rate of babies separated from the normal human living environment is extremely low.

It is even more incredible when it comes to the problem of two human babies surviving in a pack of cannibal wolves.

The lifespan and lactation period of wolves determine that they are unable to nurse two human children from a group of wolves.

The longest lactation period of a female wolf is only four months, while the lactation period of a baby is as long as one year. In order for the baby to survive, it must switch to eating meat or dead bodies in one fell swoop, which is very difficult for them. Impossible.

In addition, after a few months, the mother wolf's family will disintegrate, and the wolves will wander in groups. What should the babies do at this time?How should they survive when the mating season of wolves comes, or when a new litter of wolf pups is born?

The physiological functions and body organs of human beings are the basic characteristics and characteristics of their own species. As long as a person is born normally under a normal genetic state, then his physiological functions and body characteristics will not be affected by his living conditions. Changes in diet or diet can cause it to change its body shape or undergo physiological degeneration.

Language, a type of acquired cultural characteristic, is not inherited through biological inheritance, nor is it something that can be learned naturally without learning. As long as it is a normal human being, even if it misses the optimal development of language. In the early stage, it cannot prevent humans from mastering language skills, it is just that they have to learn more slowly.

Although the occurrence of human intelligence depends on many conditions, such as having a normal biological genetic basis, having a normal living environment, and having normal life nutritional elements, all of them are indispensable.

But as far as the basic concept of the occurrence of human individual intelligence is concerned, the basic condition for the occurrence of human individual intelligence is one, that is, normal genetic genes and good brain quality. In addition, all other factors and conditions are incidental. What is produced is a result derived from biological inheritance as the most prerequisite and fundamental condition.

Wolves also have their own social relationships. The relationship between wolves may be tribes. If a human child lives with a wolf pack since childhood, then the human child will have the habits and lifestyle of wolves, because both humans and beasts have the ability to learn. Every species in this world has its own social relationships, but humans are more advanced than other creatures.

Wolf children should have the wisdom and thoughts of normal humans, but the first life partner of wolf children is wolves instead of humans. As time goes by, human children have the thoughts and living habits of wolves, and then the wolf children will also In the human world, it will be very difficult for us to re-educate wolf children in our own way.

It is still very good for wolf children to be able to speak a few simple words in their acquired education, because wolf children have not completely lost their humanity, so wolf children are not completely inhuman, but the first object that human children come into contact with is wolves. We Human beings also evolved from primitive times.

Therefore, animal nature also exists in our human society, so we are also part of nature, so we are not much different from other creatures, except that we humans can speak and actively transmit information. It is precisely because of this that we Only human beings have the emergence of culture, and we humans have our current civilization, knowledge and ideas.

For those who have learned to speak and are surrounded by a language environment, it is difficult to truly lose the ability to speak, even if they have forcibly restrained themselves from speaking for many years.

In fact, it is not ruled out that the function of the vocal organ has deteriorated due to years of non-use. However, I personally feel that it is just a little uncomfortable and will not completely lose the ability to speak. For example, many students have turned their pens when they were in school, but After graduation, you rarely have the opportunity to use a pen. You may not use a pen for many years, but you will still know how to use a pen if you pick it up again. What's more, if you haven't broken away from human society, people around you are still using voice shells as language tools. Case.The development of intellectual cognition also requires the environmental factor of human society. Without human society, without the learning and cognition in the process of growing up in human society, humans may not be much different from animals.

Even with the intelligence level of a three-year-old child, in fact, a real three-year-old child can master a large number of vocabulary in a short period of time and basically learn to speak, but it turns out that if he does not get normal pronunciation during the normal language development process.

If you reach the age of seven or eight, it will be very difficult to perform these pronunciation movements. Of course, the influence of cognitive ability cannot be ruled out, but we cannot ignore that pronunciation movements are a series of very complex and delicate movements.

If these movements cannot be mastered during normal language development, it will be difficult to master these movements again.

You don’t need to speak. In fact, your thoughts often use language. In addition to its function of communication and expression, language is also a thinking tool. In most cases, we actually rely on language to think.

There is also the story of a wolf boy.

There are dozens of families living in a village in the northeast.The village is not very big. This year, a strange thing happened in the village. Every once in a while, a pig from a family disappeared mysteriously. First, the pig from the bricklayer's family disappeared, then the carpenter's family and the cook's family. Three families in a row were missing. pig.

It's strange to say that before these people go to bed, they will lock the bolts of the pig pens tightly. But when they wake up the next day, they don't know who has pulled the bolts out. Looking in the pig pen, the domestic pigs have already There was no shadow, no trace of the struggle at all.At that time, a family raised pigs for a year and sold them at the end of the year, which was one of the most important sources of income for the family.

Therefore, the people who lost the pig cried and wiped their eyes, and the people who did not lose the pig were frightened and uneasy. The whole Zhengjiatun was enveloped in a mood of uneasiness.The villagers reported the matter to the authorities, and the magistrate sent two detectives.The police searched for two days and ate a lot of good things, but they couldn't find the reason.But one thing they were sure of was that it was definitely not stolen. Otherwise, why was there no sound?Also, a pig of this size should have a means of transport, but there were no traces of ruts near the homes where the pig was lost.

The older policeman guessed: "According to the situation at the scene, the domestic pigs ran away on their own. Judging from the footprints, these pigs all ran to the back mountain. The back mountain was full of trees and dense forests, and there were piles of pigs on the ground. There are so many leaves that you can’t find the pig’s footprints on the mountain.”

The villagers were dubious about the old catcher's words. Why did the domestic pig run up the mountain on its own?And how do they open the latch?The three families, including the bricklayer who lost the pig, believed the policeman's words and decided on the spot to take their families to the back mountain to look for the pig, but they were stopped by an old man.

When everyone took a look, it turned out to be the old hunter in the village.He has a high prestige in the village, but now he is preventing others from finding pigs, which seems a bit unreasonable.The bricklayer was a little dissatisfied and said: "Uncle, your pig has not been lost yet, so I don't feel bad about it, but our pig has been lost, and we feel bad about it."

The hunter sighed and said, "It's not that I won't let you go, but it's useless if you go, because the pigs have been eaten by the wolves."

Hearing this, the villagers looked at each other with expressions of disbelief.The bricklayer was happy and said, "Uncle, I'm not talking about you, your reason is too funny. Who doesn't know that there are no wolves in the back mountain a long time ago."

In fact, not only wolves, but also hares, pheasants and even mushrooms were missing on the back mountain.

Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Orion asked everyone to wait. He turned around and left, and came back after a while.He held out his hand for everyone to see and said this was wolf dung.The old catcher knew wolf dung, and the hunter had hunted wolves, so now everyone believed him.However, the carpenter raised his own question: "Uncle, even if there are wolves, how can the wolf carry a two to three hundred kilogram pig?"

Orion explained: "It is true that the wolf cannot catch the pig, but it can drive the pig away. The wolf is a very cunning animal. It can pull out the latch with its mouth, then jump to the pig pen, bite the pig's ear, and then slap it with its tail. Pig's butt. The pig will follow the wolf to the back mountain obediently and let the wolf do whatever it wants."

There was a lot of chatter in the crowd. The bricklayer and others were discouraged. They knew that their pigs would not be recovered, but other villagers were afraid.After the wolf has finished eating the cook's pigs, it will come down the mountain to "drive the pigs". What should we do?They asked the policeman for help, but the policeman said that they only arrested people, not wolves. After that, he walked away, and the villagers had to look at the hunters for help.

The old hunter Orion sighed and said: "Actually, wolves will not go down the mountain unless there are special circumstances. A wolf chasing a pig means there is something wrong, which is an ominous sign. However, since everyone trusts me so much, I will help you once. From now on. Every night, each family drives the pigs to the warehouse or room and locks the door from the inside or the outside, before the wolf is smart enough to use the key to unlock it.”

Orion's pigs continued to be placed in the pig pens as bait.He estimated that the cook's pig would be enough for the wolf to eat for many days, but he slept in the pig pen in advance and did not take a bath during the day. The hunter was relieved when his body smell was the same as the pig pen.It turns out that the wolf's sense of smell is very sensitive. If it smells the smell of someone in the pigsty, it will definitely run away.

For the next few days, Orion slept during the day and took a nap in the corner of the pigsty at night.However, he was also more alert, always holding a shotgun in his hand.This is an ordinary matchlock gun. Orion's father asked a friend in the city to get it back with great difficulty. Now it has been passed on to Orion. This kind of shotgun is very easy to use.

Just one shot at the wolf.Just as the hunter stood up, the wolf also spotted him and turned to jump, but was shot in the back.The instinct of survival made the wolf drag his injured leg and still move quickly, but his speed was obviously slower.

Looking at the swollen breasts of the wolf, he understood that this was a female wolf and there must be wolf cubs nearby.

A wolf den was found under a big tree.But in this wolf den, there is a white body, which is obviously not a wolf cub.

When the hunter got closer, he was shocked to find that it was a baby, playing with other wolf cubs.He picked it up and took a look and found that it was a baby girl.Could it be that this is a wolf boy?In addition to feeding the cubs, this female wolf also fed the baby girl.No wonder the wolf took the risk to steal the pig. It turned out that there were very few prey on the mountain. It fed a baby girl. Without eating a lot of meat, it could not produce more milk.

People are diverse, and so are wolves.
