Yes it could be that humans are hard wired for certain cognitive and behavioral stages of development.
And will develop language, reading, tools, art at similar points in time.
Even with no outside contact.

Or it is possible humans were traveling and moving around the world earlier with more frequency that we
currently know.

Early Native Americans were traveling rapidly and efficiently all over the United States via the waterways.
It was like an interstate transportation system for them. If they hit shallow areas they could lift their
canoes and run great distances this way.

Current researchers and historians tend to be egocentric and minimize how advanced ancient peoples were.
And certainly, historically it is the case that white researchers weren't going to be bothered with POC history
and their accomplishments.
