Liam Zachary received a B.A. in Anthropology and History from the University of California, Santa Cruz. He earned an M.S. in Archeology from Leiden University and a Ph.D. in Anthropology from the University of Arkansas. While finishing his Ph.D., he was an anatomy teaching predoctoral fellow at High Point University’s Congdon School of Health Sciences. He then completed postdoctoral training at Ohio University’s Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine, where he taught anatomy, followed by an assistant professorship at DeBusk College of Osteopathic Medicine.
Zachary’s primary research investigates relationships between limb morphology and locomotor behaviors in extant primates to establish proxies for estimating locomotor repertoire in extinct primates. He is also involved in collaborations exploring patterns of variation in limb joint conarticulars across primates and examining the effects of food properties on craniofacial morphology throughout ontogeny in a domestic pig model.
