I even tried to consider pre-history, and it's always some level of unfounded or even contradictory. I won't mince words: the post seems to just be making shit up based on some idealized version of the (naïvely homogenized) past, and I seriously doubt its author could produce any relevant, credible sources they've read that support this very niche talking point.

The other way around also has a false assumption in it. OK, maybe bees don't have the concept if skill so much, but birds most certainly do judge singing/dancing skill (when selecting mates).

Yeah, wait, I completely overlooked that because I got so distracted by the human thing. Bird songs are among the most "the only reason this is done is so that it can be judged" things in nature, and it's one of two things listed. The other one is something the bee needs to be good at and only exists for pragmatism. I cannot with this post.
