Frank Marlowe Obituary
He was born April 17, 1954, to Jewel and John Marlowe in Forney, TX. Frank studied anthropology at Berkley and the University of Texas. He later received an MFA in film from UCLA and made a variety of critically acclaimed documentary films. He returned to UCLA for a Ph.D. in Anthropology, where his dissertation research was supported by the Leakey Foundation. He then joined the faculty at Harvard, before taking positions at Florida State University and the University of Cambridge.
He was a leading scholar on the Hadza, hunter gatherers of Tanzania. His book by that name is a standard reference work.
He is survived by his brother, John Marlowe, of Oklahoma City, his sister, Julia Marlowe, of Athens and many nephews and nieces. Frank will be remembered by his Pickleball friends as a happy competitor and by others as an outstanding scholar. Everyone will recall that he was a kind, generous and gentle man.
