Peter Wilhelm Lund was born in 1801, the son of a successful merchant, Henrik Lund, and the grandson of peasants. He was the only one of his four children to pursue higher education, entering the University of Copenhagen at age 17. It was the beginning of a great career!
Upon entering university, Peter already showed an interest in nature observation and began working with botanists and zoologists who were organizing large collections for European museums. Natural History – as the set of studies on living beings and their past was called – was his passion.
