Talk:Jungle Boy/@comment-26954170-20191207234223

I've always wondered about Jungle Boy. Who was he and how did he get there. He's Caucasion, so he's not native to the region. It is possible that he was the lone surivivor of an earlier shipwreck who adapted to life in the wild (I've read about feral children being found in the wild). It must have happened when he was very young, so he didn't know how to communicate with other people.

And what became of him after he landed on that carrier. I guess they took him back to the States where they would no doubt work with him to help him adjust to society. And perhaps try to figure out who he is and if he has any family. I know that DNA research didn't exist back then, but perhaps they could use his blood type and fingerprints to see if he's on file as missing at sea. That would point them towards his family.
