Regardless, for hundreds of millions of years before that there was tropical, tree-dwelling, adaptive pressure. Your collarbone? Your lats? Entirely for limb-to-limb locomotion hanging by your own arms. Why do people naturally lift with their back? An instinctive habit due to the fact that if we weren't upright that would indeed be the center of balance and musculature. 90% of essential oils will kill the everliving shit out of your pets, but are highly beneficial to you (considering that period where your ancestors did indeed munch on fruit and leaves all day). Also, even amongst europeans there are still a large amount of native fruits to be eaten, indeed even oranges/grapes/etc. grow even in the mediterranean, and the far north has potent oil/antioxidant fruits in berries (cloud, blue, etc.).
So yes, in the last 40,000-60,000 we've picked up interesting tidbits like lactose tolerance and a more endo/mesomorphic shape to conserve bodyheat, seasonal foreplanning and abstract intelligence, heightened musculature and more hair than the others… But we've also not experienced any pressure to lose what tropical adaptations we had: fruit consumption has never stopped, great climbing limbs are still used daily to craft or to battle, etc.
So we're still a tropical simian that became an arctic species and it shows. Not that I'm saying any form of "we're all children of africa #refugeeswelcome :DDDD" spiel, but the fact is we're still possessing certain traits due to a long lineage of certain simians. Later admixtures with other hominids and our own pressures have also pushed us apart and so apart we now are, naturally.
