Higher intelligence might be a million years old, probably a bit closer to 250,000 years or less. This is why we could build a calculator that could add better than us really easily.
Muscular motive dexterity is closer to 500 million years old. It is going to be a much much harder problem to optimize.
That’s an interesting way to look at it but I don’t think it maps one to one. Like we could build a car but a car hasn’t just evolved. Anyway it’s a somewhat good proxy but I fundamentally don’t think robots with dexterity is harder than cognitive AI. I’ll watch progress and update if it turns out this is true

yea, but we'll see for sure.
