Early life and education

Livingstone was born in Winchester, Massachusetts to Guy P. Livingstone and Margery Brown Livingstone.[1] He graduated from Winchester High School in 1946 and earned his bachelor's degree in Mathematics at Harvard University in 1950.[1][2] He completed a doctoral degree in 1957 and joined the University of Michigan’s anthropology faculty in 1959 where he became Professor Emeritus of Biological Anthropology.[1][3]

Career

Livingstone's primary area of research was genetic variation in modern human populations.[2] For his groundbreaking work on sickle cell anemia, Livingstone was awarded the Martin Luther King Award from the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.[1][2] After his retirement in 1998, Livingstone was awarded the Charles R. Darwin Award for Lifetime Achievement from the American Association of Physical Anthropologists (AAPA).[1] In 2002, a symposium was held in his honor at the annual meeting of the AAPA in Buffalo, New York.[3]

Death

Livingstone died on March 21, 2005 in Springfield, Ohio, due to complications from Parkinson's disease.[1]
