Did the inspiration from into the wild come from The Call of the Wild?

No, the inspiration for "Into the Wild" by Jon Krakauer did not come from "The Call of the Wild" by Jack London. While both works explore themes of nature and the human spirit, Krakauer's narrative is based on the true story of Christopher McCandless and his journey into the Alaskan wilderness. In contrast, London's novel is a fictional tale about a domesticated dog’s transformation into a wild creature. The two books reflect different perspectives and genres, despite their shared wilderness setting.
