Marina Chapman (born approximately 1950)〔(Strange life of the housewife who grew up with monkeys ), by Philip Sherwell and Josie in ''the Daily Telegraph''; published 28 Oct 2012; retrieved 7 February 2015〕 is a Colombian-born British woman known for her claim to have spent much of her early childhood in the jungle, alone except for a colony of capuchin monkeys.〔Payne, Terry. "(Monkeys: is this granny from Bradford telling the truth? )" ''Radio Times''. 12 December 2013. Retrieved on 23 February 2014.〕 Chapman states that when she was approximately four years old, she was taken from her village (whose name she was too young to have learned), and then released for a reason 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. According to Chapman, she later was sold to a brothel in Cúcuta, then lived on the streets, and then became a slave of a mafia family.〔Hattenstone, Simon. "(Was Marina Chapman really brought up by monkeys? )" ''The Guardian''. Friday 12 April 2013. Retrieved on 23 February 2014.〕 A neighbour, Maruja, rescued her from her predicament. Maruja's daughter, Maria, adopted Chapman when Chapman was approximately 14, and Maruja sent Chapman to Bogota to live with one of her daughters.〔 This family had connections to the city of Bradford through the textile industry. The family sent their children to Bradford in 1977 and sent Chapman to be a nanny.〔 She had lived in Bradford since about 1983.〔 She married a scientist in the Bradford area.〔 She subsequently wrote her autobiography, "The Girl With No Name", (published 2013 by Mainstream Publishing) with the help of her daughter Vanessa;〔 it was rejected by several publishers because they believed it was not authentic.〔 Her daughter, Vanessa, was involved in creating the book.〔 She currently lives in Bradford, Yorkshire, England.〔 Chapman and her husband have two children.〔 National Geographic created the documentary ''Woman Raised By Monkeys''. It was scheduled to premiere on Thursday 12 December 2013.〔"(WOMAN RAISED BY MONKEYS )." ''National Geographic''. Retrieved on 23 February 2014.〕 ==Analysis== Carlos Conde, a professor in Colombia, stated that he did a test using pictures of Chapman's adopted family and capuchin monkeys that strongly suggested that Chapman was telling the truth. A University of London psychology professor, Christopher French, argued that Chapman may be affected by false memories.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marina Chapman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
