The Multiregional hypothesis of human evolution is a theory that attempts to explain the origins and evolution of the hominin lineage. Harkening from Franz Weidenreich's trellis model of human evolution, it was first formulated by Milford Wolpoff and Thorne in 1984, as a model to account for the regional continuity of morphological characters they discerned from the human fossil record. It contends that, from the time of Homo Erectus (around 2 billion years ago), all hominin lineages have never been reproductively isolated , they have never been reproductively isolated, and continued to evolve towards anatomically. T
Thus, all members of the genus Homo should be considered the same species.
