There are only things in this world that human beings can't think of, and there are no things that human beings dare not do. In 1982, two British girls paid tribute to the heroes of the British aircraft carrier fleet who had just triumphed in the Falklands War by "lifting my short skirt and revealing seductive panties"!
In 1932, in a tribe in the Congo of Africa, a group of blacks forcibly took a photo with a huge chimpanzee, the chimpanzee was forced to sit in the C position, scared and screamed, and finally the tribe released the chimpanzee back into the wild, one of the young men because the chimpanzee stared at him deeply, and then he released the chimpanzee back to the wild, after which he got lovesickness, and was treated for a long time, depressed.
One day in a small village in Indonesia, a middle-aged woman stumbled upon a newborn female orangutan on the road. On a whim, she thought of using it to make money, so she spent two years experimenting with enhanced reception of orangutans, teaching her to scratch her head and pose, "for only $3 to have sex with an orangutan." After that, it was imprisoned by humans for 6 years, forced to receive customers, gradually numb, and finally reduced to a tool for human desires and a cash cow for endless greed.
Six years later, she was rescued by animal protection organizations and released back into nature, but she had no ability to live, she was not interested in the fruit of the tree, she was extremely excited when she saw a man, she took the initiative to hug her, begged for food, and finally only relied on humans to eat, and finally lived for 24 years, suffered from depression, and died of depression.
What's even more spicy is that American scientists did a parent-child experiment with their son, chimpanzee.
They are a pair of psychologists in New York, Winthrop Kellogg and Luella. The couple was fascinated by the story of the wolf child. In 1930, they experimented on their own son, but the experiment had to be terminated after nine months, but the effects were alarming.
The couple has a knack for figuring out people's hearts, and psychology is their lifelong pursuit. In 1929, at an academic salon at Columbia University to discuss genetic and environmental issues, Kellogg spoke eloquently about the example of the Indian wolf child, and he argued that the impact of the environment on humans was crucial. Unexpectedly, it caused a lot of laughter, and some people ridiculed him for hearsay, the wolf child is fake news and can't prove anything at all, and science needs to be verified by experiments.
Stimulated and unwilling to admit defeat, Kellogg prepared a sum of cash to test his point of view and used to recruit volunteers for the experiment, and many ladies happily applied, but as soon as he heard that he was taking care of chimpanzees, he just brushed his sleeves, and no one was willing to take care of animals, he was extremely disappointed, and several months of recruitment were fruitless, and every volunteer who applied for the job laughed at this crazy idea. In desperation, the couple had no choice but to experiment with their own son.
The couple "adopted" a 7-month-old female chimpanzee, Gua, with their 10-month-old biological son, Donald. Originally, they planned to conduct a five-year experiment to educate Gua in a human way to see if he could communicate like a human, and to observe Guo and Donald to explore the effects of different genes and environments on the growth of animals.
At first everything went smoothly, and Kellogg documented a series of changes in the behavior of the children and the orangutans, and the two children were fascinated by the amazing changes.
They raised Donald and Gua in the same way, getting them out of bed together, feeding together, wearing the same clothes and shoes, wearing the same diapers, all the same treatment. Gua learns things quickly, and it doesn't take long for him to know how to eat with a spoon, drink from a glass, and open the door, even faster than Donald, and they have a good relationship, playing together like real brother and sister, all day long.
They would put Gua and Donald on chairs, give them a spoon each, and determine which was their usual hand, and it turned out that chimpanzees learned faster than humans, and to test their reaction to loud noises, they put two children together and shot them a dozen centimeters from their heads. As soon as the gunshot rang out, Gua immediately ducked into his parents' arms, and Donald was so stunned that he would just look back stupidly at the pistol that made a loud noise.
The couple never forgot to teach Gua to speak. They were very patient and taught the two children how to speak, and they quickly learned 95 phrases, including "let me see your nose" and "kiss Donald". However, he stopped. I wanted to stop developing, only to see that my body continued to grow, but my intelligence tended to stabilize and entered a bottleneck period, Gu Ya was still speechless, and could only communicate with humans in a muttering voice, which made the scientist couple very frustrated. What's even more terrifying is that his son Donald showed limited language skills for 10 months, and began to make roars similar to Gu Ya's, imitating Gu Ya's words and deeds all day long. On the other hand, chimpanzees have made rapid progress in human development and physical maturity, and within a few months, Gu Ya has already started to open doors and go to the toilet, while Donald only has animal behaviors such as roaring, crawling, and biting.
One day, Lula was leading Donald and Guya for a walk in the square alone, as usual, when suddenly Guya rushed over to see a boy yelling and scuffling together. Her son, Donald, opened his nostrils, bared his teeth, and tried to rush to help, startling Lula, realizing that something was wrong, that this was not the behavior of a human child. His son, Donald, became animalistic, aggressive, and occasionally biting, and he and Gua created a unique, cooing, and mysterious way of communicating between brother and sister that the couple couldn't understand. Since then, Donald's growth and development have significantly lagged behind his peers, and his personality has become melancholy, sullen, and likes to avoid human children, choosing to be alone with Gua, and the two of them are unusually good.
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Luner consulted with Kellogg that it was time for the experiment to end. Kellogg thought of more and more friends saying that his child was like an orangutan, after all, his only son, and he didn't want to make any more sacrifices, did he have to accompany the child's endless pain in order to succeed in the experiment? No, no! In this way, the Gu Ya experiment, which lasted for 10 months, came to an end.
Since then, they have published a research journal called Ape and Child: A Comparative Study of the Influence of Environment on Early Behavior, which documents Gua's behavior. According to the book, Gua outperformed humans of the same age in imitating adult behavior and physical tests, but no matter how socialized and humanized training is carried out, there is a clear limit to the degree of humanization that non-human species can achieve, and at a certain point it will stop.
The saddest thing is Gu Ya, after living happily in human society for ten months, she thought she was one in a million lucky people, but she didn't expect to be abandoned, and after returning to the forest, she was ostracized by her peers. Out of place, Gua refused to go into the forest and only wanted to stay with humans, and in the end, he was sent to another experimental facility to become the subject of another experiment, and two years later, a depressed and depressed Gua contracted pneumonia and died, and he spent the rest of his life in a cage in the laboratory, only two years and one month.
In 2021, Andrew published a book called "The Song of the Ape: Understanding the Language of Chimpanzees", in which Gua's story was recorded, saying:
"In a short period of time, Gua's identity has changed from a child who grew up in a human family with parents, brothers, a house, clothes and a bed to a primate in a laboratory cage. ”
And Donald didn't pay it back, he quickly regained his humanity under the careful care of his family, lost the behavioral characteristics of the orangutan, and his language ability returned to normal, and he grew up to study spiritual science at Harvard University. But the shadow of childhood accompanied him all his life, he was never happy, he was always depressed, and in adulthood, he became a psychiatrist.
In the summer of 1972, after the death of both his parents, he lost his warm haven, all kinds of discomforts, and refused to make new friends, and a year later, in January, Donald shot himself, ending his own life.
Later generations commented that both children were miserable, and that the chimpanzee was forced to grow up in human society, that it considered itself a human being, that it had parents and siblings, but that the rest of its life was an experiment; The human child is also miserable, alas, he has never really recovered from the trauma of childhood... He once had a sister, he was very attached to this sister, however, she was non-human, she died early, he was incompatible with other children, although he excelled in his studies, he lost the ability to be happy, and only relied on his parents to get a little comfort, however, his parents were gone, and he also lost the desire to live.
This experiment is unscientific, at least absurd, judging from the steps of the current scientific experiment, without complete demonstration, and without conducting experiments with animals as the main body, it is undoubtedly a crime to directly cross the steps and take humans as the experimental subjects. Poor Donald was born into a Kochi family, but he was reduced to an experiment. Of course, this experiment also raised ethics to the standard of scientific experiments for the first time, and woke people up that experiments cannot have no bottom line, and any behavior that devalues life is not worthy of respect, and human beings must reflect on it. At the same time, animal protection organizations also protested that experiments cannot be without a bottom line, and animals deserve respect and protection.
