The multi-regional vs. replacement theory is about a time period well
after habilis (about a million years after). They concern the
transition from erectus to more modern humans. I don't know that you
could accurately say that either is "more accepted"; it's an ongoing
debate, and probably will be for some time. "Support" see-saws.
