as recently as 3,000 years ago, at the end of the Bronze Age

Oops, guys, I'm full-blooded Navajo and apparently I should have a bicameral mind since my ancestors crossed the Bering Strait land bridge 20,000 years ago into the Americas, becoming a generically isolated population around around 12,000 years ago. Unfortunately, I am an atheist, have a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering from Stanford University, and do not hear voices of deities instructing me what to do. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Havent you heard? Everybody besides ancient Mediterranean people are not important and don't count.

Yea, the idea that a trait could be present everywhere in humans as early as 3000 years ago and be non-existent now was the first gaping hole I saw in this hypothesis.

Ah see I'm half Australian aboriginal and half European and I only get to hear a 1/4 of what the gods have to say to me.

It's mostly instructions on what to eat next, or maybe I'm just always hungry
