He is a loner well past puberty whose sexuality is aroused ONLY when a white Jane shows up. He is a fantasy only someone like Cecil Rhodes could love. This is not about left or right. His love of apes and animals is rooted in their usefulness to him.

Let's see if I have this right.Plane crashes in Africa.Only white baby survives.Apes adopt and raise baby.Baby grows to rule all he surveys. Is that it?
