All the article seems to be based on the Out of Africa hypotesis, but what about the multiregional hypotesis?
- rsynnott 6y ago> but what about the multiregional hypotesis? The strong multi-regional hypothesis is essentially a dead issue; didn't survive contact with modern genetics. There's now some evidence for regional admixture for genetics from archaic humans with Homo sapiens, and this is sometimes called (kind of misleadingly, IMO), the weak multi-regional hypothesis.
