A long line of useful mutations that where found to be useful in the environment that the creature in question where living in. And as it been pointed out, bipedalism are not necessarily that useful in all environments. We also need to keep in mind that sometimes, transitional mutations may be useless in one area but later forms allow for a creature to expand into an formerly unsuitable area. It's like the knuckle walking apes in the dense forest that been mentioned, no need to become bipedal. On the plains bipedalism are better suited but when fully evolved in us humans, we can take tools into our hands and conquer the dense forest.

i am sticking with the prehensile thumb , it made a hand out of a foot. it would be no good to stand up and reach out for something, with a foot on the end of your arm would it.

How fortuitous! I wonder what caused those particular mutations?

Sounds good to me. What test(s) might we run to distinguish between "just lucky" and an act of intervention?

The desire to chase a leather ball.

Is bipedalism more difficult to explain than other traits, or is your point something to do with the difficulty of pinning down causes?
