There is an ancient belief that when a female wolf loses a young cub, she seeks a human child
to take its place. Romulus and Remus, the legendary twin founders of Rome, were supposed to
have been cared for by wolves. The idea actually became believable in the late 19th century
when a French doctor found a naked ten-year-old boy wandering in the woods. He did not walk
upright, could not speak intel1igently, nor relate to people: he only growled like a wolf and
stared at them. Finally the doctor won the boy’s confidence and began to work with him. After
many long years of devoted and patient instruction, the doctor was able to get the boy to clothe
and feed himself, recognise and say a number of words, and even to write a little.
