There are several theories of the adaptation value of bipedalism. It is possible that bipedalism was favored because it freed the hands for reaching and...

Nonetheless, it remains a matter of controversy as to how bipedalism first emerged. The advantages of bipedalism were that it left the hands free to grasp objects...
