What is the primary distinction between the multiregional hypothesis for human evolution and the out-of-Africa hypothesis for human evolution?

• B) The multiregional hypothesis suggests that hominins evolved in multiple regions of the Old World, as evidenced by multiple branches in hominin phylogeny, while the out-of-Africa hypothesis suggests that hominins left Africa and colonized the Old World in two to three waves.
• C) The multiregional hypothesis suggests that hominins left Africa and colonized the rest of the Old World once, while the out-of-Africa hypothesis suggests that hominins left Africa and colonized the Old World in two to three waves.
