Bipedalism is an important hominid trait. Walking on 2 legs allows hands & arms to be free to carry food, infants, and to bear sticks, bones, or stones for protection. Significant for the development of family life and eventual dependency upon tools.

The development of bipedalism is considered one of the most significant advances by hominid groups as it enabled our ancestors to efficiently travel longer distances, free up their hands for tool use, and eventually lead to the evolution of other adaptations such as larger brain size.
