Where are the zoologists?

The AAH proponents have come from a wide variety of disciplines, but not
Anthropology.
The opponents have been almost exclusively Anthropologists.
Most of the AAH is based on mammalian physiology and evolution, fields in
which
Anthropologists seem to be ill prepared. Perhaps the debate could be put
on a more scientific basis if zoologists had a look at the arguments based
on comparative physiology and evolutionary biologists exposed some of the
simple
errors that have made by both sides in describing evolutionary scenarios.
Personally, I don't think the subject of human evolution pre tool-making
belongs
in Anthropology - it should be in Zoology's Ape department!
