Levi-Strauss' death at age 100 was announced in Paris on Tuesday. Born on Nov. 28, 1908, in Brussels, Belgium, he was widely regarded as having reshaped anthropology, becoming the leading advocate of what is now known as structuralism. His ideas reached into fields including the humanities and philosophy. Honored by universities worldwide, accepted into the Academie Francaise, home of France's scholarly elite, Levi-Strauss was also a skilled handyman, loved music and believed in the virtues of manual labor and outdoor life.
