There’s a very plausible common cause. Humans likely developed the traits that allowed them to easily invent agriculture during the last glacial period. The glacial period ended 10 000 years ago, so that’s when the climate became amenable to agriculture.

Yes, I had always assumed that was the cause. (Which might have some kind of bearing on Great Filter-like reasonings.)
Agriculture developed very far from regions most affected by glaciation, and in very diverse climates, so any climatic common cause is pretty dubious.
