"He's very sad. He doesn't say anything now," he said. "We know he wants to escape my house to go back to the forest so we have to keep an eye on him now."

In b4 "primmie".

^It does seem a bit harsh to force them to live somewhere they don't want to live.

there was a similar story a few years back, not sure if it was Thailand but it was Southeast Asia, about a girl. If you read Wiki's entry on "feral children" I think it mentions it.

what a tragic story that clearly exposes the logic of domination intrinsic to civilization. i hope they are able to escape back into the forest, never to be found again.

Kamala and Amala


The story of two young girls, Kamala and Amala, is one of the most famous cases of feral children. Kamala was 8 years old and Amala was said to be 1 ½ when they were found in 1920. Both girls had spent most of their lives abandoned and alone. The two were found in Midnapore, India in a wolves’ den. Despite being found together, those who investigated the case believe that the two were not sisters but were simply abandoned around the same time or taken by wolves. The girls were found after stories spread throughout the village of two “ghostly spirit figures” that were often seen with the wolves that lived in the Bengal jungle. The local villagers were scared of the said spirits and called in a Reverend, Joseph Singh, to get to the bottom of it all. To see what was really going on, Singh hid in a tree above the cave and waited. When he saw the wolves exit the cave he waited and then saw two hunched over figures peek their heads out of the cave. He wrote down what he saw, describing them as “hideous looking with foot and body like a human being.” He said that the girls ran on all fours and had no real traits of being human.

Singh eventually captured the girls, though he had no experience in rehabilitating them. The girls slept curled together, growled, tore off their clothing, ate nothing but raw meat, howled, and were physically deformed. The tendons and joints in their arms and legs shortened, making it impossible to walk upright. The two also had no interest in interacting with humans. Some say that their senses were impeccable, especially when it came to hearing and seeing, but even their sense of smell was sharp. Amala eventually died due to a sickness, which then caused Kamala to go into a long-stage of mourning. Singh thought she would die but she did not and he started a rehabilitation program to help heal her- she eventually learned to walk upright and say a few words. She died of kidney failure in 1929.

How is all this even possible? I am shocked, don't know what to say.

Incredible that those two alone could find enough subsistence for one another in the jungle over the course of fourty years! Did the guy who went missing tell his story at all? Does he remember?

The article says that they could barely understand the local dialect. That's actually very interesting. I had no idea that dialects could branch off so drastically over single generations. Maybe it's because the two had no one else to talk to but one another?

Pray tell, a return to such social formations in the modern era would result in far more deaths than lives saved.

Also, I find it interesting that a mod linked a picture captioned "Anarcho-primitive.jpg" here. I thought primitivists were restricted for, you know, being enormous reactionary nutcases?

uh jungles are absolutely teeming with life. most of the remaining 'untouched' gatherer-hunter tribes in the world today live in jungles, and have for tens of thousands of years. if he knew what he was looking for (which is likely, its common to mix gathering with agriculture in many places) it wouldn't be that hard to find enough to eat.

i am shocked i had never even thought of this before

Did Jam like a Jacobin not get to see me when I was an admin with the "quasi-primitivist" use title?
