Imagine this person accidentally survives in the jungle and is 15 years old far from any Human, Does he think? (He doesn't know any word)
When someone doesn't know any word, is impossible to THINK, he even is unable to think about a creator, Isn't it interesting?It seems most of the Humans' sorrow is because of her/his thoughts, so if a person doesn't think, will not suffer of at least the things that are caused by thinking.What do you think?

It is impossible to think without useing words or images.
The language and words has been developed during thousands of years.Perhaps, the first people in order to communicate started to make sounds or signals to each other.Then little by little they arranged the sounds.What was the first word?
You can try in your mind, if you do not use the words or images, you won't be able to think.Feelings are different from the thoughts.

Some of the behaviours are based on Humans; INSTINCT, which occurs automatically, such as the sense of hunger, which forces the Human to find the food....These are not in the THINKING category.

Tarzan is the obvious model for your question. I believe however that all animals think, maybe not about their creator but about where the next meal is coming from and am I safe. A person would be in the same shoes as an animal without the guidance of humans. The interesting part is how much guidance comes from a supreme source. Most of us call this instinct or intuition. This person would survive well whether they speak or not. Speaking is a small part of thinking. Ever heard of a mute. I think therefore I am.

It would be impossible for a human who survives a 15-year ordeal in a jungle if he or she is not a thinking individual. Whatever means of communication he or she has developed or acquired are sure a great help for the survival in the forest.

I'll bet he/she would be dead within a week. Quite a painful death too I'm afraid. Bitten by an insect or snake. Eating the wrong plants. Mauled to death by a pride of lions. Boiled alive by killer Pygmies, who just happen to be cannibals as well. Drinking malaria filled water. I could go on and on, but won't. Next question.

Llike Tarzan, he'll learn the "Jungle Ways" to communicate.

He would be able to think, you don't need words to think. It would be in an image format. Animals feel sorrow, anger and joy but don't have words.

I think he would know sorrow in that he has lost the company and comfort of his parents

I think this person would suffer from illness or animal bites. Besides, he could still think, he just couldn't verbalize.

just becuase you don't speak doesn't mean you don't think. I can't speak spanish but it doesn't mean I don't think. just like before english language was created people had to think why things the way they were. I think you didn't think on this one.
