    Sure, but did cobras that spit venom exist before us stick throwing primates? Apparently not really. Spitting cobras seem to emerge in Africa when the hominin lineage emerged ~ 7 million years ago and in Asia around the same time H. Erectus moved into Asia ~2.5 million years ago

      This seems like such an oddly specific adaptation, but you’re right, especially the fact that it happened twice makes it a lot more believable
