What is the theme in Genie: A Scientific Tragedy by Russ Rymer?

Scientific study is another theme. When Genie was discovered, it was learned that she had been isolated from all social interaction and was unable to speak as a normal child her age would do. For this reason, great interest was garnered in her case. Almost since the beginning of scientific study there has been a question of whether children learn to speak because they are born with certain abilities in language or because of the care and encouragement of their caregivers. Genie was a case in which scientists could finally answer that question.
