 ===Early life, education and first expeditions===
-Phillipe Edmond d'Everard was born on October 22, 1865, as the eldest son of famed physicist [[Rachet d'Everard (physicist)|Rachet d'Everard]] (1838–1922) and his wife Sophie, née d'Auguste (1843–1940). Phillipe harboured a strong interest in natural science from an early age and kept several exotic animals as pets. He attended a private Catholic boys school in [[Sainte-Catherine]] operated by the [[Prokopites|Order of St. Prokop]]. He explored pits and quarries in the surrounding areas, discovering ammonites, shells of sea urchins, fish bones, coral, and worn-out remains of dead animals. Reaching 18 years of age, d'Everard served his conscription with the [[11th Infantry Division (Yonderre)|11th Infantry Division]] of the [[Yonderian Defence Force|Yonderian Army]] from 1883-84 during which time he was known to his comrades as "Eddie" due to there being five men named Phillipe in his company.

+Returning from the army, d'Everard enrolled with the [[University of Collinebourg]] studying biology from 1884-89. One of d'Everard's courses was taught by paleontologist [[Thibaut d'Avignon]] who had described ''[[Joanusaurus]]'' a few years prior. d'Everard was invited to partake in digs in the field seasons of 1887-92 under d'Avignon's supervision. d'Everard partook in the 1891 and 1892 excavations in [[Vollardie]] that led to the discovery of the most complete ''[[Vollardisaurus]]'' skeletons known at the time. d'Everard returned to the [[University of Collinebourg]] in 1892 to work on his thesis, published in 1895 as "''Evolutionary development and traits in derived Joanusaurids''".<ref>d'Everard, Phillipe E.: ''Evolutionary development and traits in derived Joanusaurids'', [[University of Collinebourg]]. 1895.</ref>
