Arthur 
Conan 
Doyle 
was 
born 
in 
Edinburgh 
on 
May 
22, 
1859. 
He 
received 
a 
Jesuit 
education 
and 
went 
on 
to 
study 
medicine 
at 
the 
University 
of 
Edinburgh 
Medical 
School 
under 
Dr. 
Joseph 
Bell 
in 
1877.
In 
1886, 
Conan 
Doyle 
split 
his 
time 
between 
his 
medical 
practice 
and 
his 
writ-
ing 
of 
the 
first 
story 
that 
was 
to 
launch 
the 
fictional 
career 
of 
Sherlock 
Holmes, 
A 
Study 
in 
Scarlet
, 
published 
in 
1887. 
It 
has 
been 
widely 
theorized 
that 
the 
name 
“Sherlock 
Holmes” 
was 
chosen 
based 
on 
the 
American 
jurist 
and 
fellow 
doctor 
of 
medicine, 
Oliver 
Wendell 
Holmes, 
and 
Alfred 
Sherlock, 
a 
prominent 
violinist.
In 
A 
Study 
in 
Scarlet,
through 
the 
character 
of 
Dr. 
John 
Watson, 
Conan 
Doyle 
outlined 
the 
evidence-based 
method 
of 
inference 
and 
deduction 
that 
would 
become 
the 
defining 
element 
of 
Sherlock 
Holmes’s 
fictional 
reconstruction 
and 
criminal 
profiling 
casework

1887):
