"The Genetics Lecture" Characters

These characters appear in the short work "The Genetics Lecture". Owing to the very simple nature of the piece, they have been placed on a single page.

Professor Cthulhu
Cthulhu was a professor of genetics. His students viewed him as old fashioned, partly because of his manner of dress and his glasses. While Cthulhu was willing to allow his students some latitude in their questioning of him, he had a strictly defined sense of what constituted a silly question. For example, when one of his students, Nyarlathotep, asked whether it was possible for modern life to have evolved from anything but mollusks, Cthulhu was initially very irritated.
