Born in Canada, Romanes's childhood encompassed a blend of travel and education, marked by a distinct non-conformity in his schooling and a passion for nature over structured learning. As he transitioned into his youth and early adulthood, the narrative emphasizes his gradual move towards the study of natural science, underscored by friendships and intellectual development during his time at Cambridge University.
