Yockey attended the University of California, Berkeley where he was awarded a bachelors in 1938 and a Ph.D. in 1942.[2] In 1946 he married Mary Ann Leach.[3]
He studied the application of information theory to problems in biology and published his conclusions in the Journal of Theoretical Biology from 1974 onwards. Yockey was very critical of the primordial soup theory of the origin of life, and believed that "the origin of life is unsolvable as a scientific problem".[citation needed]
His wife Mary died in 2006.[4][1] Yockey died on January 31, 2016, at the age of 99.[1]
