Default Re: Adopted by Chimps

Apparently not. Stories of wolf children, and children adopted by monkeys, all show them becoming exactly like their adopted species. There is apparently no ordinary human consciousness, and it doesn't develop until months or years in human company.

I don't know for certain about the veracity of these stories but they seem reliable; they're quoted in medical journals and I saw a monkey-boy interview on 60 minutes some years back.
