He has or rather is a history.\" In these provocative words, which form the theme of this essay, Malson carries one step further the assumption of behaviorists, structural functionalists, cultural anthropologists, and evolutionists that \"human nature\" is a constant. If the content of the analysis made by anthropologists is not affected by a \"human nature\" that lies outside of history, humanity to all effects and purposes becomes its history. So-called wolf children are children abandoned at an early age and found leading an isolated existence. They are thus natural examples of complete social deprivation and Malson explores their history in this complete study. His essay is followed by Itard's account of Victor, a wolf child found in the forests of central France at the end of the eighteenth century. Itard's two reports have become a classic of psychological and educational literature, and are presented here as the most important first-hand account of a wolf child.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lucien Malson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0853452644\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780853452645\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Monthly Review Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1972\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.42d","brand":"Lucien Malson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992525570303,"sku":"9780853452645","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7881848d-8bfa-439c-b8c5-a0496e0e7a12.jpg?v=1683319421","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wolf-children-lucien-malson-9780853452645","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
