The purpose for becoming bipedal, the evolution of bipedal gaits, and the consequences of being an obligate biped have been thoroughly explored theoretically. However, applying these theories to the archaeological record remains difficult due to sparse fossil remains over this critical transformation in hominin evolution.

The problem here is that many of the adaptations present in the ... being an obligate biped. I'm not a biological anthropologist, so don't take my word for it... but it's something to think about.

So it is possible that while this individual was an obligate biped, it still spent some time in the trees (which goes well with paleoecological evidence that suggests that various hominid species spent most of their time in marginal woodland environments).
