But humanist minuscule is not a cursive script: the letters are separate. Cursive does not mean just hand-written, but written in a style designed for haste achieved by not lifting the pen between letters.

Right, my point is they have existed alongside each other almost as long as the latin alphabet as we recognize it. Cursive is a bit younger, but they both trace from antiquity.
Both forms existed before print, during the inception of print, and long after print.
