Ponder for a moment, why those who engage in science make a distinction between a "theory" and a "hypothesis".
Below are a lot of links for the use of the term "out of Africa theory" of human evolution, and the under various names, and competing theories, usually called the "multiple origin theory". I'm sure you can find a journalist if you look hard enough, who like you, confuses hypothesis and theory, but they, like you would be wrong.
If you look in scholarly literature, they use "theory" here.
I get it. I led you to water, and I can't make you drink. Pride and projection are a hell of a drug.
I gave you a link to a half dozen or more scholarly articles where scientists call the competing theories of human origin the "out of Africa theory" and the other the "multiple-origin theory."
It's a hard thing to accept the fact that you're wrong.
So, apart from you, who calls this hypothesis a theory?
Quote please.

Look, it is perfectly fine to admit being wrong. It is however pathetic to spend so much time on deflecting from the topic at hand.
Did you read the study? Can you explain why this study proposes to be a theory?

Ok, last question:
Where do the authors call this hypothesis a theory?
