Multiregional Hypothesis states that the earliest hominid ancestors were from Africa. Also, it states that Homo Sapiens evolved from different species of Homo Erectus in many places of the world. Milford Wolpoff is the main contributor to the multiregional hypothesis. The hypothesis is growing less likely since archeological evidence suggests that there were many more pathways to Homo Sapiens.
