"Wild people" were once the object of people's talk, and there are stories and legends about wild people at home and abroad, but so far, there is no reliable and clear evidence that wild people really exist, basically "witnessing", but the "monkey baby" living in Bai shiping town in Changyang County, Hubei Province, has attracted great attention.
The English writer Shakespeare once said: "Rumors are a flute blown with speculation, suspicion and conjecture." The story of Hubei "Monkey Baby" is also quite poignant, his big name is Zeng Fansheng, similar to the beast, often active in the dense forest, 2 meters tall, the head is relatively small, the arms are longer than ordinary people, can not speak, all year round is completely naked.
According to nearby villagers, the reason why Zeng Fansheng looked like this was because the wild man had captured his mother in the mountains, and then his mother ran back, did not speak for a long time and did not go out, and then Zeng Fansheng was born, and Zeng Fansheng grew up to be very different from normal people, just like "wild people".
Therefore, in the village, Zeng Fansheng and his mother are not welcome, the left and right neighbors are often behind their backs, Zeng Fansheng's mother is basically closed door, after the death of his mother, Zeng Fansheng has no one to take care of, and the people in the village are also avoiding him, for fear that he will hurt himself.
And Zeng Fansheng will be angry will pat his thigh, happy will pat his chest, the villagers are more convinced that Zeng Fansheng is a wild man, in 1989, Zeng Fansheng died, experts through the measurement of his bones, found that Zeng Fansheng's skull is different from modern people and chimpanzees, and very close to australopithecus.
However, after scientific discovery, it was learned that an expert deliberately covered the lower part of Zeng Fansheng's skull, so that peers who did not know the details suspected that it was the skull of an ape.
Nine years after Zeng Fansheng's death, Professor Yuan Zhenxin, then a famous paleoanthropologist and former director of the Beijing Ape Man Museum, personally led a team to the place where Zeng Fansheng was born and grew up to conduct field investigations, and after obtaining the consent of other relatives, experts opened Zeng Fansheng's coffin and transported his remains to Beijing, and the autopsy was eye-popping.
Zeng Fansheng's brain volume is half of that of normal people, only 700 ml, so it caused Zeng Fansheng to have low intelligence, lost his language function, and finally after a detailed examination, Zeng Fansheng was identified as a microcephaly patient, that is to say, the reason why Zeng Fansheng is different from normal people and looks like a "wild man", in fact, because he is sick, but the villagers think that Zeng Fansheng is the product of humans and apes, which is pure nonsense.
But Zeng Fansheng still has another special feature, his collarbone is "V" shaped, the hand is very long, similar to the long arms of an orangutan, so Zeng Fansheng's skeleton is still very valuable for research.
