The existence of feral children is proof that humanity's supposed intelligence and self awareness is nothing but a charade, a house of cards progressively built upon with each generation that with the slightest change in circumstances could cause to collapse.

The greatest mental feats of humanity are nothing more than monkey see, monkey do. Repeated behaviours refined and repeated for thousands of years, a cheap trick. There's nothing new under the sun for a reason, human civilisation is built entirely upon one oddball who liked smashing sharp rocks together and all it would take to send us back to that level is the destruction of our currently accumulated knowledge. Remove the knowledge and you remove the foundation of human superiority, like an unprogrammed robot.
