The overwhelming proportion of our genes indisputably came from one single pulse of emigration out of Africa recently. To the degree multiregionalism in the weakest sense still has any potential for validity it would be in the scraps of a fraction of a few percent that might have been obtained through admixture after the main truck of euroasia HSS Ancestery left Africa less than 100,000 years ago.
People who are still arguing for multi-regionalism in the strong sense, like many in China, japan and Korea still do, are arguing for the earth being flat.
The multi-regionalism advocated in Asia is even stronger than the strong sense that might have a seemed anthroplogically viable 100 years ago. They are not saying the broad population in east Asia might have had a large genetic contribution from an aancestral pre-HSS population that also lived the region. They are denying major contribution from any outside group at all. Further more, they are fixated not on the interbreeding modern population of the region, but specific ethnic groups. They are arguing the Han ethnic group, or the japonic speaking ethnic group, or Korean speaking ethnic group, each separately sprung directly from local distinct population of homo erectus that lived where the present ethnic groups lived, that had distinct and identifiable traits linkable to the present population half a million years ago, and were by implication, uncontaminated by foreign gene flow for half a million years, and has prior claim the the land they deem to be theirs by a precedence of half million years.
