Isn't "apes throwing things" why cobras developed the ability to spit venom?
-
Cobras probably existed looong before any ape did, so that sounds unlikely!
-
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
