London Wolf Child Rose Evans Atavism Amid Claims of Cure
Seven year old Rose Evans of Pimlico developed animal like traits such as biting, tearing raw meat, and a feral gaze after age four. Doctors led by Dr Hugh Deering study her case to learn if brain pressure or thyroid related treatment could restore normal development. Reports compare her to jungle animals and cite past similar cases, including a shy girl robber known as the devil flapper and other wolf children in India and Europe.
