I believe that it was a combination of the two. Evolution was always going to happen to animals. When humans started consuming more protein, we inadvertently started to enlarge our brains in a sense. Which could be considered luck.

I'm with you there, I see it as inevitable that something sentient and intelligent would evolve on this planet, it's luck that it was humans.
