practice: If you had to be raised by animals in the wild, what animals would be the best parents? I personally believe in Darwin's theory, thus I think gorillas or orangutangs should be the best parents. Because we are very close to them with our DNA and other little ties. I mean who else can teach a human to hold a stick and to use it as a weapon or a tool? I don't think that monkeys are the cleverest animals on the Earth, but they are just our very distant relatives. It would be great to grow up in a dolphin's family or in a lion's family, or maybe in an elephant's family! However I think it can't be, just because we are so different. I don't believe that wolves can grow a human either.
