Summary

"Chambers's Edinburgh Journal, No. 446" by Various is a journal issue that takes readers back to the 1800s; it examines diverse subjects, putting a spotlight on people's actions and moral character when looking the stories of kids who grew up away from civilization in Europe and India. Through historical examples of children raised by animals or in isolation, the writing questions what it means to be civilized and how our surroundings shape who we are, discussing how these children adapted (or didn't) to human society, ultimately prompting a closer look at what shapes us as not only individuals, but also as members of society.
