Abstract
Professor of American studies and history Matthew Frye Jacobson explains that eugenics was a popular topic in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, often referred to by politicians in the discussion of American expansionism. Professor Jacobson adds that the Tarzan story, written at that same time, was "a perfect eugenics fairy tale," and that its author, Edgar Rice Burroughs, was a eugenicist.
