If we are not wild then are we not free?
That depends on what your definition of wild is and also on whether we truly have free will.
I like to think free will is wired into us but when I consider the idea of free will being something written into out genetic makeup then I have to wonder.
If our supposed freedom to choose, think, act, etc is determined by tangible, measurable things such as neural pathways, brain capacity, DNA, etc, then said freedom begins to look more like a characteristic of a very complicated set of programming, whether it be by natural design or divine design (although I don't think it makes much of a difference if divine or not).
A person could potentially have limitless choices or options, but no matter the path they take, they may be acting on their programming, even if nature has programmed them with a capacity for choosing from a near-infinite menu of options. The path they take, while it might seem to be the result of their free will, may be decided by countless factors, stimuli, considerations, both internal and external. It can look like free will but I don't know if it really is. So in that sense, I'm not sure if we are or ever have been truly free.
Forgive my amateurish attempt to answer your question. (If that can even be called an answer)
