William 'Bill' Yewdale Adams, Ph.D. (Anthropology, University of Arizona, 1957; B.A., Anthropology, University of California, Berkeley) was Emeritus Professor of anthropology at the University of Kentucky. The death of his father, historian William Forbes Adams, led the family (including his older brother Ernest W. Adams) to relocate to a Navajo Reservation where the experience of Navajo culture first sparked young Bill's interest in anthropology.

Professor Adams was the winner of the 1978 Herskovits Prize for his history of Nubia, and in 2005 he was awarded Sudan's highest civilian honor, the Order of the Two Niles, for his contributions to Nubian history.
