Milford Howell Wolpoff is a paleoanthropologist and professor of anthropology at the University of Michigan and its museum of Anthropology. He is the leading proponent of the multiregional evolution hypothesis that explains the evolution of "Homo sapiens" as a consequence of evolutionary processes and gene flow across continents within a single species. Wolpoff authored the widely-used textbook "Paleoanthropology" (1980 and 1999 eds.), and co-authored "Race and Human Evolution: A Fatal Attraction", which reviews the scientific evidence and conflicting theories about the interpretation of human evolution, and biological anthropology's relationship to views about race.
