Question:
Is a human still a human if it is born and raised
Outside of other human contact?

[Krimel]
In a word, no. The evidence on this is a bit shaky but research on feral
children suggests that after about 10 years of age, children who have not
had the benefit of human contact can not learn language, can not be house
broken and do not socialize. In some instances feral children have had
difficulty even learning to walk erect.
