Romulus and Remus, the legendary twin founders of Rome, were purported to have been cared for by wolves. There is a belief that when a she-wolf loses her litter, she seeks a human child to take its place. This seemingly preposterous idea did not become credible until the late 19th century, when a French doctor actually found a naked 10-year-old boy wandering in the woods. He did not walk erect, and could not speak intelligibly or relate to people. He only growled 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, recognize and utter a number of words, and even write letters and form words.
