And yet she still probably knows more about economics than Bernie Sanders. Strange but true!
From a cognitive science perspective, it is a more interesting story if she was raised by monkeys, but from the start, the news accounts differed, some saying she was dressed in clothing that fit and had only(!) been abandoned by human caretakers for weeks. Now news stories are saying she wasn’t living with monkeys at all, just nearby monkeys, and for a shorter time. The story is indeed sad regardless.
