He was the chief proponent of the 'out of Africa' theory although lately 
he's come around to a 'multiregional African' theory. Wolpoff had been 
critical of the original theory and proposed a multiregional evolution 
hypothesis. He and Caspari's 'Race and Human Evolution: A Fatal 
Attraction' is a good introduction. He thinks h. erectus arose in Africa 
and migrated, evolving to h.sapiens in multiple areas. Recent 
archaeological finds are supporting. 

Stringer seems to have come halfway. That might help explain M1 which had 
previously be explained by M* evolving in Asia with one group getting 
homesick and going back to Africa.

Wolpoff was also critical of the left wing windbag Gould.
