Bio

Anne Stone is currently a Professor in the School of Human Evolution and Social Change at the Arizona State University. She received her B.A. in archaeology and biology at the University of Virginia in 1989. She then attended the Pennsylvania State University where she wrote her dissertation on the genetic and mortuary analyses of a prehistoric Native American community, obtaining her Ph.D. in Anthropology in 1996. During her graduate study, she received a Fulbright scholarship to study at the Ludwig Maximillian University in Munich, Germany with Dr. Svante Pääbo. After completing her Ph.D., Dr. Stone received a two-year National Institutes of Health NRSA Post-doctoral fellowship to work with Dr. Michael Hammer at the University of Arizona. Dr. Stone’s specialization and main area of interest is anthropological genetics. Currently, her research focuses on population history and understanding how humans and the great apes have adapted to their environments, including their disease and dietary environments. This has three main strands: (a) Native American population history, (b) the evolutionary history of the Great Apes, and (c) understanding the co-evolutionary history of mycobacteria (specifically Mycobacterium tuberculosis and M. leprae, the causative agents of tuberculosis and leprosy, respectively) with human and non-human primates.
