Alexander Fleming was born on August 6, 1881, in Lochfield, Scotland, to a family of farmers. He was the second of four children in a modest household; his father was a farmer and his mother a homemaker. Fleming's family background emphasized education, and he later moved to London to pursue his studies in medicine, which ultimately led to his groundbreaking discovery of penicillin. His upbringing in a rural environment contributed to his pragmatic approach to science and medicine.
