Anthropologists sought special, essentially human explanations for the origin of bipedalism. Earliest hominid fossils from Ethiopia and Tanzania are dated a million years earlier and show significant adaptation to bipedalism in combination with a hominid dental pattern that has distinct apelike overtones.

By Rima Chaddha ... Why do we walk on two feet? If you asked a roomful of anthropologists, you'd likely get a different answer from each person. In the course of human evolution, was there one key factor—changing landscapes, the need to keep cool, the advantage of attracting a mate? ... Explore hypotheses for why we stand up,

The transition to bipedalism in hominids could build on this evolutionary pattern; it didn't require the direct transformation of a true quadruped like a horse into a committed biped. There are important differences between the human skeleton and stride and that of our closest cousins, the chimpanzees, however.
