Oh gosh, it seems Edgar Rice Burroughs was a eugenicist who thought humanity had reached its zenith in the British aristocracy!

I need to finish reading this but the reason for Tarzan's infant survival and mastery of the beasts was because he was a superior being! (Pause for laughter.)

So myths of white supremacy are created and perpetuated.
