I would hesitate to guess that it is the other way around.
That we are observing a trait much more common and ancient than previous studies have reported.
So, as we have common ancestry with the whales, that trait was already present much longer ago
(And yes, I realize this would invalidate your point about how we out competed the other hominids)

@folfdk@helvede.net @paninid@mastodon.world I don’t know if my point about out-competing is correct, so it’s fine to invalidate it.
