It's surprising because this particular branch of H. Erectus is not a direct ancestor of modern humans, yet it includes a feature found in modern humans.

You don't see the irony in that?

In convergence? Is it ironic that both you and a housecat have about a 140-degree binocular overlap in your visual fields, giving the cat depth perception and stereoscopic vision as good as any human's? Cat's not your direct ancestor either...

No irony. Simply convergent evolution. Methinks you read into this something which is not there.
