Philip Henry Gosse, born in Worcester, England, and raised in Poole, demonstrated an early aptitude for drawing under the influence of his painter father. Despite limited formal education, he delved into extensive reading, borrowing books from acquaintances to broaden his knowledge. His journey took him to Newfoundland, Canada, where he immersed himself in the study of natural history, joined intellectual societies, and embraced Methodism. After pursuing various endeavors in Canada and Alabama, Gosse settled in London, teaching, writing scientific articles, and publishing books on natural history. His works explored diverse subjects, including Canadian and Jamaican natural history, marine biology, and the establishment of home aquariums. Gosse's religious convictions prompted his attempt to reconcile biblical creationism with scientific discoveries in his controversial book Omphalos. Despite criticism, he continued to publish and teach until his death in 1888.

William Crawford Gorgas was born in Mobile, Alabama. He earned a bachelor's degree from the University of the South in 1875 and then graduated from Bellevue Medical College in 1879. In 1880, Gorgas was appointed a surgeon in the Army Medical Corps. Because he survived an attack of yellow fever in Texas, Gorgas was immune to the disease and was often stationed at posts where it was prevalent. In 1901, he served as chief sanitation officer of Havana and, acting upon Walter Reed's demonstration of the transmission of yellow fever by the mosquito, destroyed breeding places of mosquitos, halting the epidemic. A few years later, he became chief sanitary officer for the Panama Canal project and succeeded in eliminating yellow fever from the Canal Zone within a year. In 1914, Gorgas was promoted to brigadier general and appointed Surgeon General of the US Army. He retired in 1918 with rank of major general and then served as president of the American Medical Association. Gorgas was knighted by King George V in 1920 and passed away later that year.
