Talk:Anna (feral child)

I don't see how the Paul Lutus content and source under the "ethics" subheader are relevant to the article. Paul Lutus is an engineer with a blog that mainly echoes far-right talking points, defending people like Tomi Lahren, attacking the boogeyman Postmodernism and how humanities, social sciences and psychology aren't real science. Which doesn't automatically disqualify him, but, well, he is an engineer with no credentials in the history of science or related fields. If there are academics from more relevant fields like sociology or anthropology criticizing the study on similar grounds as Lutus, that would be OK.

Lacking evidence[edit]

A lot of this article, particularly when it begins to discuss other similar cases, does not seem very subjective. Genie, for example, had excellent non-verbal skills, so saying that ‘feral children’ have no means of communication is not true. ElleBlair (talk) 15:42, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
