Yes but humans have also co-opted it to mean something like “you’re losing my interest,” which seems funny to me. I wonder if there are more examples of instinctive behaviors being deployed sarcastically in humans.

Well, there's of course sarcastic smiling and sarcastic or scornful laughing, the "genuine" forms of both being partly involuntary responses. Another interesting reflex action that's been deployed socially by humans is clearing one's throat to politely request attention.
