Do others in the field of anthropology agree with dr. thorne's view? explain.

Basically Thorne strongly believes that what many calls Homo erectus was in fact Homo sapiens, and that they migrated out of Africa almost 2 million years ago and dispersed throughout Europe and Asia. That would actually be very diferent from what scientists have always believed about the evolution of the species. That is why many of them are againts him

Some scientists like Gregory Adcock agree with Thorne's theory of regional continuity.

Others, like Chris Stringer and Ian Tattersall, believe Thorne's results may be contaminated or misinterpreted.
