[Ron] Question: Is a human still a human if it is born and raised Outside of other human contact?
[Krimel] In a word, no. The evidence on this is a bit shaky but research on feral children suggests that after about 10 years of age, children who have not had the benefit of human contact can not learn language, can not be house broken and do not socialize. In some instances feral children have had difficulty even learning to walk erect. Ron: Kinda puts things in perspective, Family is the foundation of society. It is what defines us as human beings. [Krimel] So where does "family" fit into a system of levels? Is it biologically determined, Socially mediated and Intellectually justified? What sense do these questions make? What does this add to our understanding of "family"?
