Were these supposed victims shrewdly manufacturing their own myths? Like all of his predecessors - the Gothic ruffian Kaspar Hauser, about whom Werner Herzog made an intriguing film, or Victor, the wild child of Aveyron whose relationship with his tutor and saviour was touchingly dramatised by Truffaut in L'Enfant Sauvage - he can be suspected of fraudulence. The boy is too self-aware, too much of a celebrity. Newton, watching him perform, remains unconvinced. Newton describes the efforts of an Indian missionary in the 1920s to 'bring Christ to the jungle' by succouring and converting two sisters who were found living in a wolf's den south of Calcutta and as soon as the Ugandan boy John Ssabunnya was taken from his simian foster family in 1991, his rescuers enrolled him in a church choir, where his treble voice seemed to proclaim a benediction.

When Christianity established its headquarters in Rome, it mitigated the tale, transforming the she-wolf into a symbol of benevolence and mercy, and ever since it has pretended that savagery can be salvaged and spiritually redeemed. Culture is based upon sacrifice, murder, the enforced concentration of property city walls admit the necessity of warfare with the natural world outside these paranoid boundaries. The Roman twins, who grew up to be bandits, were able to found the eternal city precisely because of the violence they absorbed from those vulpine teats. In classical folklore, the story acknowledges the brutality of civilisation, its massacre of nature. The stories about savage girls and wild boys that Michael Newton has collected and analysed - from Romulus and Remus suckled by the she-wolf to a Ugandan orphan discovered 10 years ago cohabiting with monkeys - are parables about what it means to be human, and they demonstrate how flimsy our definition of ourselves as superior creatures actually is.

How easy would it be for any of us to regress? On a desert island, would we maintain our domestic routines like Robinson Crusoe, or start hunting one another like the public schoolboys in Lord of the Flies? Television programmes such as Survivor show people quickly and happily regressing, casting off their civilised training as they shed their clothes.
