On the failure to find God's fingerprints ...

[Jeremy Mason]

I'm not especially bright, Jay, but to my primitive thinking, I would assume that the emergence of bipedalism probably came about because of climate change and subsequent food gathering opportunities. If memory serves correctly, of course.

I agree that this is the God appointed evolutionary mechanism that contributed to bipedal man.

In evolution and Genesis we started off as vegetarians/tree dwellers and then progressed to being omnivores as we started to explore less wooded areas. Being able to stand up would have been a necessary benefit in looking for food and perceiving danger.
