I only have one main inspiration as to why I became the naturalist I am today. This man is my good friend and mentor Professor John Stevens Henslow. Our friendship began in 1828 at Cambridge University. Not only did this good-natured academic and clergyman teach me much of his scientific technique, but he also arranged a place for his favorite pupil aboard HMS Beagle. Without him I wouldn't have found any of those species during my travels. You would still be wondering who/how did we evolve into these creatures we call humans and how did all of these different species of animals come to be so closely related.
