Wolf children learn fortune-telling _ Wolf children fortune-telling novels

193 1, a baby was born in the world. He should have lived a beautiful and happy life, but all this was broken by the strange behavior of his biological father.

Donald, his name is not widely known, because when people talk about him, they prefer to call him "the failure of Kellogg's experiment" and "the child in the experiment of orangutans and children" Kellogg is his father and the creator of his miserable life.

1920, Kellogg learned a shocking thing from his psychology teacher: two children were found growing up in a wolf's den.

His teacher said excitedly on the podium: "This is an experiment given to us by nature. We were surprised to find that although the two children were taken good care of after being rescued, they were completely different from human beings. Think about it. They can't walk upright, talk or use tools. They can only scream strangely from their throats and tear my blood apart, at least with a delicate tooth. How is that possible? Can be regarded as a person. . . "

Kellogg was upset, but he was shocked. Yes, why? He began to recall his childhood. Isn't he born to learn to walk, eat and talk? Why do they just live in a wolf's den and learn not to be human?

This is ridiculous. Two children who lived well in the wolf's den died in human society after being rescued. The report shows that this girl has been unable to adapt to human society. She is alert to everyone, showing her teeth to visitors, ready to bite.

Obviously, she misses her mother wolf. She often curled up in the corner and stared at everyone in the room with hostile eyes.

At the end of the report, the researcher attached his own guess: maybe every child has an important growth and development period, such as talking, walking and simple cognition.

They imitate wolves as important children and spend all their time on them. Therefore, it is cruel for people to kill wolves and forcibly bring them to the real society. These two poor little girls have been worried that the killers around them will do it.

Living under the care of the enemy always makes them feel uneasy, so the eldest child died the next year.

Looking at the report in front of her, Kellogg became interested in what the researchers called an important period.

This is the beginning of Donald Jr.' s painful years.

1929, when the news of the death of the second wolf child came, Kellogg was already an assistant professor at Indiana University. He has a successful career and a happy marriage. But he still can't forget the story of the wolf child he heard that year.

Over the years, he has heard many speculations intermittently. Some people think that wolf children can't integrate into society because they are born with mental problems. Others think that people who educate wolf children are not authoritative enough to give them correct guidance.

As a "comparative psychologist", Kellogg has a rough guess: the habits formed in childhood are very important and difficult to change. The wolf's children grew up in the wolf's den, forming the wolf's thinking and habits. Even in human society, they can't treat themselves as people.

On this basis, Kellogg designed some experiments for his conjecture, such as planning to throw some babies with normal intelligence into the wilderness to study their behavior.

Another example is to let parents raise babies and chimpanzees at home at the same time, treat them equally, and observe the behavior of children and chimpanzees (the experiment is hard to stop).

The impossible experiment completely aroused Kellogg's desire to win or lose. Two years later, my wife was pregnant and looked at her slightly bulging abdomen. Kellogg was ecstatic. He finally found the best experiment.

Crazy experiment: little brother, orangutan sister

193 1 year, Kellogg's child Donald is nine months old. He is a lively child and often crawls around in the toy room. One day, while he was playing, his father came in with a black ball and said to Donald, "Donald, this is your sister, quaint."

Donald crawled tentatively, raised his head and began to cry in fear: he had never seen anything so ugly, with wrinkled face, black hair and long pointed nails. He is a monster!

When her son cried in fear, Kellogg quickly waved to his wife outside the door. "Take the camera!" "This is the first time the subjects met. He will keep this precious scene no matter what.

In this way, Kellogg's experiment officially began. He has two main subjects at present. One is his nine-month-old son Donald.

The other is Guiya, a seven-month-old female chimpanzee he adopted. In order to facilitate the experiment, Kellogg recognized Guya as Donald's sister.

In order to get the real experimental results, Kellogg treats his brothers and sisters equally. He put the children and orangutans in the same room and took care of them by himself. Every morning when I wake up, Kellogg will give them the same good morning kiss and then feed them the prepared milk powder.

In the feeding stage, there are obvious differences between brothers and sisters. Human brothers have a gentler attitude towards food and drink slowly; Sister orangutans often worry about not having enough to eat. Sometimes, after dinner, she will grab her brother's share. When Kellogg tried to stop him, Gaia would bite him and howl in his mouth.

"On the 25th day of the experiment, when quaint howled again, Donald seemed to realize the relationship between howling and emotion. Similar howls began to appear in his throat, sometimes because quaint accidentally hurt him, and sometimes because the light outside was dazzling. He is like a little beast. He doesn't have to cry or declare war on anything that offends him. "

In order to record the physical data of brothers and sisters, Kellogg and his wife measure the height, weight and blood pressure of their two children every day. One day, when Kellogg combed their hair, he had a whim. Because the skull is similar to the head circumference, do you make the same sound when you hit your head?

To find out, Kellogg patted each child's head with a spoon. In order to eliminate the influence of other environments on the research results, Kellogg hit their heads with the same force more than 100 times before and after the experiment. Finally, Kellogg came to a strict conclusion that Donald's skull sounds more dull, while the quaint skull sounds crisper and more pleasant.

On another occasion, Kellogg wanted to know how two children reacted when they were frightened. He took out his pistol and shot at the roof.

Later, Kellogg described the different reactions of babies and orangutans in the book Apes and Children: Donald was playing with his doll. He sat on the ground when the gunshots rang, until a minute later, the little boy began to cry.

This is the loudest and longest cry since he was born. He's scared. He held the poor doll tightly in his hand, and then my wife broke it off for a long time.

Quaint is obviously much calmer. He jumped into the closet as soon as the shot rang. After the gunshot, he became interested in the banana on the table and came down and took one.

The child's habits have changed greatly, and the experiment was forced to stop.

Quaint and Donald

1932, when Donald was one and a half years old, Kellogg's wife Lula stopped her nine-month experiment.

Due to her husband's sincere request, Lula agreed to do this strange experiment. During this period, Lula served as Kellogg's assistant to help him take care of the daily life of his two children. Lula was very active in her early experiments. She trusts her husband and believes that with his talent, this research will shock the psychological circle.

But with the deepening of the experiment, Lula saw the crazy side behind the experiment. Their son, lively Donald, is becoming more and more like an orangutan.

Donald imitates everything about Gaia, including holding something in his mouth, making a gorilla roar, and often climbing behind Gaia. Lula sometimes looks at Donald and wants to know, is this really her birthright? He is more like a chimpanzee in human skin.

As for quaint, she influenced her human brother, but she became human herself. Because of frequent contact with the Kellogg couple who take care of her, they treat her intimately, and the quaint imitator becomes two people she likes. Quaint learned to kiss, hug, dress simply and play human games. Most notably, ancient Asia began to walk upright in the late period.

Lula watched Donald crawling around in the laboratory, while quaint stood shivering on the wall. She thinks all this is ridiculous. She pulled her husband to the window and let him have a good look at all this. "You have two monsters. They are monsters! If you don't stop your ghost experiment, your child will be destroyed in your hands! "

Faced with his wife's accusation, Kellogg was shocked by the results of his experiments on children. He had to endure the pain and stop the experiment.

Two children were ruined by the experiment.

Kellogg later wrote in his book, "This kind of research needs a brave scientist so that he can persist in facing other people's problems."

Obviously, Kellogg regrets the termination of the experiment, but as bystanders, we obviously don't agree with this attitude, because we know the ending of the two children.

As a chimpanzee, Guiya was adopted for nine months. Obviously, judging from her behavior, she is used to living among human beings. But after the experiment, Kellogg returned Guiya to her mother.

This is an iron cage in which quaint mother calls softly. Obviously, she recognized her child. But quaint doesn't remember her. She is afraid of the cage and the giant inside. After being caged, Guya sadly asked everyone passing by for help. She hopes these people can send her back to Kellogg's home. But she didn't see Kellogg again until she was three years old. She died of depression.

Donald's fate is much better. Donald has been enjoying the life of a normal child since Kellogg gave up the experiment. His father is a university professor with a high social status and can provide him with a good education and good living conditions. Perhaps out of compensation, Kellogg spent more energy on him. Under the education of his father, Donald was admitted to a famous American university and became a doctor after graduation.

He looks very smart. Only Donald knows that his childhood experiences have always influenced his life. He has a bad temper and can't control himself. Sometimes he thinks he should be a gorilla. He can't adapt to the life of human society. He is so dependent on his parents that it is difficult for him to get along with others. Finally, after the Kellogg couple died, Donald chose to leave this world forever. Maybe he went to find his orangutan sister.

Quaint and Donald

Humans are the most taboo experiments.

Kellogg's experiment was undoubtedly a failure. Due to the limitation of the times, Kellogg may not be able to confirm the cause of death until the wolf child dies.

The tragedy of Wolf Child is that the time for two girls to live in wolves is too critical. In people's childhood, people's language and cognitive ability develop rapidly.

Children in this period took him to the wolves. He only saw wolves. He naturally regards wolves as his own kind, so he knows everything about wolves, such as eating raw, crawling on all fours and behaving like a wild animal. Even though he was later brought to human society, he still felt like a wolf. If he has to learn something, he will only cry.

Although Kellogg is an excellent psychologist and his other studies have made great contributions to mankind, we can't agree with him that children can never be the subjects of experiments, especially babies.

They can't speak or express their feelings, and the experimenter can never guarantee what effect his experiment will have on him. For example, Watson bought a baby of 1 1 month in the experiment to understand how children are afraid.

He showed a sudden explosion and a skinned rabbit in front of the baby, which usually caused the baby to feel scared and scream when he saw any furry object. The baby became the first experimental subject to die prematurely in history.

Although Kellogg's experiment did not continue, its influence on Donald and quaint was lasting and far-reaching.
