Marina Champman, the woman raised by monkeys

kids-raised-by-animals-6

Marina Chapman (born approximately 1950) is a Colombian-born British woman who claims to have spent much of her early childhood in the jungle, alone except for a colony of capuchin monkeys. Chapman states that when she was four years old, she was taken from her village, and released for reasons she did not understand. She spent the next several years following capuchin monkeys until hunters rescued her — by which point she had no human language. She alleges to have been sold to a brothel in Cucuta, to have lived on the streets and been enslaved by a mafia family. She eventually moved to England where she got married and had kids. Her daughter convinced her to write her story, and in 2013 she published her autobiography, The Girl With No Name.
