I wonder where the partial data / feedback is stored. Don't want to sound like a creationist, but it seems very improbable that "how good my sound localization is" is inferred exclusively from the # of children I have.

It’s evolved in simpler organisms with a much shorter generation cycle and more offspring per generation.

Being able to localize sound source has a lot of benefits including predation avoidance and prey detection.

Almost convincing, except there's no animal composition (beyond gut microbes)! You can't stick 2 animals that each evolved 1 thing together.
