Jack London's reference to the "dominant primordial beast" in The Call of the Wild is echoed by a graffiti quote found in the abandoned bus on the Stampede Trail. Alexander Supertramp's graffiti hails the dominant primordial beast and Captain Ahab from Moby Dick.Reference to London's reference in Call of the Wild echoes the idea of living life in its primal manner. It means living deliberately in nature and asserting one's existence through a philosophy of naturalism.
