undomesticated
Living without humans
Undomesticated describes animals or plants that have not been bred or cultivated for human use—wild rather than tame.
Undomesticated cats avoid human contact.
The word extends to people who seem untamed or resistant to civilized conventions: He had an undomesticated quality that made him uncomfortable at formal dinners.
