Wow, I was not expecting you to take this angle on the topic. It was really interesting to hear the history and truth behind these children. I hope one day you share more on the relationship between humans and nature and some of your beautiful readings of mythical stories
If I hear that an Indigenous American child became "attached, as an adopted child or a maid, we don't know" to a French Canadian lady in the early 1700s (as an ethnic French Canadian myself) My brain immediately leaps to the form of slavery practiced among indigenous Canadians at that time. When French Canadians had an enslaved person in their ownership/custody, it o overwhelmingly tended to be one who was given to them by an indigenous person they were associated or allied with or related to....captives were taken during intertribal conflicts, often as a "replacement" for a relative who had been killed or taken this way, and though they were not sold, they were sometimes given away. A combination of factors including how this type of slavery was approached by indigenous people, and the requirements French Law made of slave owners, make it historically challenging for contemporary people to define the relationship...it is often hard for us to say if the young person is a servant or an adopted child because of the cultural expectations and laws of the time and place. The relationship usually looked like a combination of the two. They might seem like an ill-treated step child or a much loved servant or any combination of the two roles.
Excited for this one, I've always found feral children fascinating! It's interesting how after a certain point of not learning a language, they will never be able to learn one. Makes you wonder what underdeveloped skills we're stuck with simply because we weren't taught to do so as children
Probably very few. The issue with language is that it is kind of the foundation from which all other things we learn stem from. Neurons in the brain link new information to existing ones of language. The brain is very plastic & changes/grows quite easily, but I suppose a brain without these language skills would learn other things. So the neurons that would have been dedicated to language have been reorganized to perform other tasks. You would have to convince all of those neurons to reassign themselves, the possibility of which probably varies by individual, and probably is also somewhat related to a persons access to nutrition growing up. Anyways, most other skills, since they're going to stem from or link to language can probably be acquired. We just don't necessarily know how to encourage the brain to acquire those skills effectively (like reading speed). It's easy to imagine how we might solve those puzzles though - as the brain is very plastic. However language is fundamental & comes first. Most things in life are probably inaccessible to learn without it, and learning other things compounds are understanding of it.
I wouldn't suggest putting that in any future Tinder bio though!!!. "I find feral children fascinating" I think most women might find that a tad weird!!!.
Oh my god this is so perfect for me - as a child, my dad used to tell me stories about wild animals, and I always imagined running around with them and being friends with them. Then when I found out there were actually children who grew up with animals, I was fascinated! Thank you for helping me connect with these memories
lol. I was complaining earlier about the noise of the feral children in my block of flats but I guess that sort of feral child isn't what the topic is about 🤣 Always very happy to see a new upload. Will be listening to this shortly x
New subscriber here! Very excited about discovering your work!! I’ve been wanting to learn something/while being relaxed. And you going the extra mile with props and not over bearing bright images is just a cherry on top. Thank you :)
Thank you as always for the engaging stories! This is one I would love to hear the entirety of but will probably end up falling asleep in the first 15 minutes- it’s always lovely to come back again and pick up where I left off!
I've learned so much from this excellent channel. I know all about Joan of Arc and Catherine the Great, just to name two examples. I've heard the information about the Orion Project several times, due to waking up during that part of the recording, and I still can't believe that NASA was seriously considering using nuclear explosions to accelerate rockets to escape velocity! That idea seems crazy to me.
👋 yes, exactly Marcos Pantoja lives now in northern Spain (Galicia), a couple of hours away from my hometown. Is a really interesting story 🧐 If anyone understands some spanish I would encourage you to watch some of the documentaries about him or interviews with him. Fascinating video.
yo soy española y había oído de la historia porque de estudia en mi carrera, pero me encantaría saber más, como se llama el documental y dónde puedo verlo ?? gracias!!
@@martaubieto9798 No, yo lo que decía es que la gente busque documentales o entrevistas con él, no sé si hay algún documental profesional hecho sobre él. En TH-cam hay varios vídeos sobre él y su historia.
A great movie to watch is Nell with the phenomenal Jodie Foster, Liam Neeson, and Natasha Richardson because it's centered around a ferrel child due to unfortunate circumstances. It's an excellent movie! Thank you FW for another calming and educational upload! 😃💖👏
So visually pleasing, such a beautiful voice, such fascinating topics and wonderful storytelling. I’m so grateful there’s such an extensive library of your work to explore. Thank you Frenchy ❤
Thank You everso for your stories that do not have sound effects at the ending. ❤ I have sleep issues. And sadly the, what should be soothing sounds, wake me up. So cudos 👌 for providing the option. A Patreon wishing all a night of Deep Sleep 😴
Halo. I thought, because in the beginning..., you weren't fidgeting with trinkets in your videos any more. I thought people didn't tell you enough how much they love that. I love that and thanks for everything you do! Much love!
Weeee im at the perfect sleepy but not too sleepy so i can actually be up and pay attention to the story!! Legit telling the girl im talking to right now that im going to bed 😂😅
Would you consider doing a video on the history of Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation, aka, Lasers? Such as its discovery, usage (past, current, and projected future), misconceptions, and engineering. I would love that as an addition to your already diverse collection of videos!
35:44 Unfortunately, tragic cases like Genie, a girl who was horribly neglected, have shown that unless a child learns to understand speech and to speak themselves before the age of two, they will never develop language skills. It is a crucial window for this skill to be learned from the people around the child, and if this stage of intellectual development is cruelly denied to such a young child, they can never be taught to speak afterwards. Therefore, either Kasper was mistaken about his early childhood development or he was lying. It would not have been possible for him to suddenly gain the ability to speak and understand language at the age of nearly sixteen. Likewise, it would have been impossible for him to suddenly be able to walk at that late age, his muscles would have atrophied so badly that he would not have been able to support his own weight on his legs. I am cheerful, aren't I? Lol. However, it is a fascinating story and one wonders why such a deceit was practiced upon the people Kasper met at age sixteen. Mighty strange.

"I find feral children fascinating"
I think most women might find that a tad weird!!!.
This is 100% my favorite topic, there are absolutely feral people living in the mountains and hollers of the US
I have 5 kids and their initials are F.E.R.A.L ! It wasn’t intentional either! I’ll enjoy this one! #TeamFeral ❤
Cringe
Ok? 🤣 I’m sorry you resort to abusing others online. I hope you’re happy though 🥰😘 you have the day you deserve!
Thats adorable! ♡
That's cool
I love it! So cute

I was a feral child who slept with wolves now I will fall asleep listening to you tell our story
You have such a UNIQUE CHANNEL.

0:27 ooh new point of view, cool!
I cannot stop laughing at the title, my humor is 6 feet under
Feral children are truly innocent and are one with nature. These kids do not know the darkness that humans have in them. 🦍🐺
Please, do something about Madame Bovary ❤
