    Multiregional hypothesis: all living humans derive from the species Homo erectus that left Africa nearly two million-years-ago.Out of Africa Model:after Homo erectus migrated out of Africa the different populations became reproductively isolated, evolving independently, and in some cases like the Neanderthals, into separate species. Hence both the hypothesis supports African origin of Homo erectus which suggest that statement 3 is wrong.
