Biography:
Ana Magdalena Hurtado is a professor in the School of Human Evolution and Social Change, and Affiliate Faculty member of the Biomimicry Center at Arizona State University. In 1991, with funding from William T Grant career, she completed career development training in epidemiology at the School of Public Health, University of Michigan. After five years of postdoctoral fieldwork, and faculty appointments at Emory University and the University of New Mexico, Hurtado moved to ASU to help build the first evolutionary anthropology-based Global Health program. In 2012, Hurtado was inducted as fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. She works on mortality reduction mechanisms in humans with emphasis on cultural niche construction. This work builds on decades of human ecology, cultural, epidemiological and human ecology research among Aché and Hiwi hunter-gatherers, and Machiguenga trekkers of Latin America.
