Savage Girls and Wild Boys by Michael Newton

Savage Girls and Wild Boys by Michael Newton

This is an account of feral children - those brought up with no human contact, sometimes raised by wild animals, unable to speak or perform many of the functions we consider human. The cases discussed include those of Kamala and Amala, twin girls reputed to have been brought up by wolves in India in the 1920s; Genie, a girl kept in a single room in New York; a boy raised in a hen house in Northern Ireland; and a boy found among wild dogs in Moscow. The book examines their lives and the experiences of those who "rescued" them, looked after them, educated them or abused them.

Professor Thomson has a unique perspective on the dilemmas facing our museums. He was Director of the Peabody Museum of Natural History at Yale and University President of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia before taking up his current position as Director of the Oxford University Museum.
