Answer:

Bipedalism freed the hands so they could be used to cart food, make and use weapons and other advantages of freed hands. Bipedalism is a much more efficient way to walk and run and this fact is quantified. Bipedalism raised the early proto-human above the horizontal so he could see predators approaching. Bipedalism is a much more efficient design to cool down overheating bodies.

your welcome :)
