I remember learning about the concept you’re referring to – as observed in Japanese monkeys learning to wash their food… i.e. When the monkeys suddenly started washing, the monkeys finally stepped out of the water and landed at the swab.

In my opinion multiple discovery fits the bill perfectly.
Another term that is often used are simultaneous invention or independent invention. Frequency of occurrence in Google Search are:
Multiple discovery: 26,600 Simultaneous invention: 12,100 Independent invention: 69,900
In Google books:
Multiple discovery: 4,760 Simultaneous invention: 4,460 Independent invention: 33,500
See this Ngram. The figures for independent invention are possibly skewed because this term is used in patent law.

G. Jung
For added coolness (depending on your age :-)) it’s also the title of a 1983 album by The Police.
