Write a character study of Professor Challenger, including references to the following:
* Factual information about his background, his job, his qualifications, and his skills.
* The claims he has made which are disputed, and how he reacts to opposition.
* The ways he treats others. (E.g. his wife, Malone, Summerlee, the Indians)
* What qualities he reveals (sometimes unintentionally) of himself.
* How he speaks of himself
Professor Challenger.
Professor George Edward Challenger is a very knowledgeable human being, as he was educated at Largs Academy, and then at Edinburgh University. His favourite topics are that of zoology and palaeontology. He has even won a Crayston medal for zoological research. Because of his zoological knowledge and his palaeontological knowledge, he is one of the main protagonists in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's book "The Lost World." He is not a very sociable man, as you will see later, because of his hatred of journalists or any one who works at a newspaper firm. He holds a very important role in The Lost World, because he is the person that organises the expedition to South America to witness Pre-historic life. He is also a well-built man. He has large shoulders with a barrel like chest, and he has an immense black beard covering his chin. His hands are also covered in this hair, and at a first glimpse, he looks somewhat apish to any passer by.
