This is another Klub, as it seems to me. Taking the same old Darwinianism as axiomatic, but tinkering with the time line.
Despite the necessity in both of the scenarios for intelligence to have evolved, the more evidence accumulates, the more it looks like hominid intelligence is more like a given -- part and parcel of the (pardon the choice of terms) design.
People reached Australia. By boat. When ?
Any scheme that requires earlier hominids to have had a functional IQ in the forty-to-fifty-something range is daft, friends.
