GURPS has always had what would logically be skills as advantages.

Combat Reflexes comes to mind.

Other examples are Cultural Familiarity, Innate Attack (which is both a skill and an advantages), Less Sleep (via learn meditation techniques), Eidetic Memory, and Language.

In fact, Language went from being a skill in Classic to an advantage in 4e
