To this person's credit, the rate that the Inca developed advanced stone masonry techniques is considered a bit of a mystery. It's believed that they got them from another culture. That also had very advanced masonry techniques. The mysterious part of it is that both cultures don't have any developmental history.
There is no "believed" about it, and there is a lot of developmental history, so I don't know why you're saying that.
For example, there's Tiwanaku. There are many sites preceding it and post-dating it.

There were a huge number of Andean civilizations that came before the Inca and many of them had plenty of experience working stone.

The Inca were just the last in a long line of civilizations in that area.
Furthermore, carving and stacking stones doesn't take a genius.
