I whanau a Home ki Kingston-upon-Hull, i kuraina ki Westminster School. I whiwhi ia i te karahipi ki te Whare Wānanga o Trinity, Cambridge, engari i whakatau ia ki te noho hei akonga o tana taina, a John Hunter, i te Whare Hauora o St George. I marenatia a Hunter ki tana tuahine, te kaitoi me te hapori a Anne Home, i te Hurae 1771. I awhina ia i a Hunter i roto i te maha o ana rangahau anatomical, ana i te ngahuru o te tau 1776 i whakaahuahia e ia te kohinga a Hunter. He nui ano nga taunakitanga kua paahitia e Home te mahi a Hunter, i etahi wa tika, i etahi wa kore; i whakangaromia ano e ia nga tuhinga a tona taina-i-te-te-te-te-te-te-te-te-te-te-te-te.
