Milford H. Wolpoff is a foremost anthropologist and one of the architects (with Alan Thorne of Australia and Wu Xinzhi of China) of the multiregional theory of human origins. Unlike the out-of-Africa theorists who argue that modern humans evolved in one place, Africa, the multiregionalists argue that there is no one geographical source for modern humans. Wolpoff is the lead author of another important new book, Race and Human Evolution (Simon and Schuster, 1997), the first comprehensive multiregionalist book for the general/trade audience. Wolpoff has done research in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe and North America. See less
