Feral humans

[F2d5thCav]

It begs the question as to what a "feral human" is.

Homeless living rough in the woods -- no.

Situation like @BIAD mentioned -- borderline, but those people are still connected with civilization, even if tenuously.

Children raised by animals -- definitely.

I've read plenty of accounts out camping to lend the impression there is some banditry going on -- robbery, murder, etc.  Hard to say in that case, each situation would have to be individually evaluated.

Related to the last are those who have voluntarily "left the grid".  I would guess most remain bound to civilization even if they don't regularly interact with it.  But some ... may go all the way.

I've read accounts of people spotted in the woods who avoided contact and who apparently had become quite hairy (but not apes or BF).  Makes me wonder if some of those who "left the grid" raised families away from everything.  How would those children have much of an opportunity to socially develop enough such that they could reintegrate with society if they wanted to do so?
