Thomas Dwight was born on October 13, 1843 in Boston, Massachusetts, United States. He was the son of Thomas Dwight by his wife, Mary Collins Warren, daughter of John Collins Warren.
As a child he was taken abroad and attended school in Paris until about the age of twelve when he returned to complete his education in Boston.
He entered Harvard College with the class of 1866, but after two years transferred to the Harvard Medical School where he obtained his degree of M. D. in 1867; he did not take his A. B. degree until 1872 when it was received as of the class of 1866.
After completing his work at the medical school he again spent some time abroad, studying natural history and anatomy, and while in the laboratory of Rudinger of Munich he learned the technique of examining frozen microscopical sections, which he introduced into the United States on his return.
Between 1872 and 1877 he held instructorships in comparative anatomy and in histology at the Harvard Medical School, and a professorship of anatomy at Bowdoin from 1873 to 1876; he also served during the years as editor of the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal.
In 1880 he again accepted an anatomical instructorship at Harvard, and three years later succeeded to the Parkman Professorship of Anatomy in the place of Oliver Wendell Holmes, retaining this position until his death in 1911. He was president of the Association of American Anatomists in 1894, and was a member of the editorial board of the American Journal of Anatomy from its founding.
For a number of years he practised surgery in Boston, being surgeon to out-patients at the Boston City Hospital (1877 - 80), visiting surgeon of the Carney Hospital (1876 - 83) and president of the staff of the Carney Hospital (1883 - 98). In 1900 he retired from active surgical work in order to devote his entire time to anatomical research and teaching.
His study of the variations of the human skeleton had led him to consider the problem of heredity, and he attempted, just before his death, to harmonize the theories of evolution and heredity with the teachings of the Church of Rome.
His book, Thoughts of a Catholic Anatomist, the proof-sheets of which he corrected during his last illness, was published in 1911, just before his death.

Throughout his life Dwight was an ardent follower of the Roman Catholic faith and supported actively such societies as the St. Thomas Aquinas Academy of Philosophy and Medicine of Rome and the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, of which he was vice-president in 1884 and president in 1887.
His devotion and loyalty to his creed were outstanding in his life and influenced his point of view and his scientific opinions.
