Return to History 8 Human Origins Concepts
The multiregional hypothesis is one possible scenario about the origin of today's homo sapiens. This hypothesis states that after homo erectus moved out of Africa, homo sapiens developed from local groups. This theory was originated due to similarities of minor anatomical details in modern human populations and populations of homo erectus in the same areas.
