I think it's safe to assume that most of us know the story of Tarzan (or at least have seen the movie). If you are unfamiliar with it, it's about a man who is raised by gorillas after his parents are brutally murdered, and in such gains the ability to communicate with them and adapt their mannerisms. Now, many of us probably would consider this a hoax and declare that a feat like this is just impossible. Impossible? No. Highly unlikely? Probably, yes. The reason why I say that is because in a 1999 report, a feral child - a child raised by animals - was documented, a child who goes by the name of John Ssebunya. This blog entry is dedicated to his entry into the wild and his emergence as a half ape, half human.

His integration into human society didn't go that smoothly. Over 8 years, John had to learn the commonalities of being a human, including how to speak, eat food, and learn to walk; things that we consider to be innate. When they had found John, he was considered hypertrychositic, or having abnormal amounts of hair growth on his body; he was practically an ape when they found him. The brands in his knees showed that he had never learned how to walk, and his feet were defecated and destroyed by worms. He had difficulty learning to speak, but he astonishingly enough was able to overcome such odds and actually ended up becoming one of the village's most popular singers. Today, he owns his own home and hopes to one day start a family of his own.
