Re: How was it preserved in people?
Well, given the frequent darkness that I assume descended regularly on our ancestors I would think that some such skill would be of some value.
​
Besides, hearing and "binocular" hearing is of value even when we are sighted. For example, in a dense jungle. This then is co opted for echolocation. I don't see anything very hard about this question?
