Anne C. Stone

Anne Stone is Regents’ Professor in the School of Human Evolution and Social Change at the Arizona State University. 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. In particular, she is interested in the evolutionary history of mycobacteria (specifically Mycobacterium tuberculosis and M. leprae, the causative agents of tuberculosis and leprosy, respectively). Stone obtained her Ph.D. in Anthropology in 1996 from the Pennsylvania State University. She has been a Fulbright Fellow (1992-93), a NIH NRSA postdoctoral fellow, and a Kavli Scholar (2007). In 2011 she was elected a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and in 2016, she was elected to the National Academy of Sciences.
