Biography: 

Anne Stone is a Regents Professor in the School of Human Evolution and Social Change at the Arizona State University. Her 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) population history, particularly in the Americas (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. She has been a Fulbright Fellow (1992-93) and a Kavli Scholar (2007), and, in 2011, she was elected a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. In 2016, she was elected as a member of the Naitonal Academy of Sciences. She has served on the editorial boards of the American Journal of Physical Anthropology, the Journal of Human Evolution, Evolution, Medicine, & Public Health, and Molecular Biology and Evolution. She is currently a member of the editorial board of the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, series B.

Research Interests: 

As a professor in the School of Human Evolution and Social Change, my specialization and main area of interest is anthropological genetics. In particular, I am working on questions concerning the origins, population history and evolution of humans and other primates as well as on the development and testing of methods for ancient DNA and forensic applications.

At present, my research examines the biological history of Native Americans, both ancient and modern, with a current focus on native Peruvian populations. I am also interested in the evolution and genetic diversity of primates, particularly the genus Pan, which includes chimpanzees and bonobos. This research includes investigating genetic variation using mitochondrial DNA and Y chromosome sequences, as well as autosomal markers to understand population history.

Finally, I am examining the phylogeny and evolution of Mycobacteria, particularly tuberculosis in both modern and ancient contexts.
