Yes they are! - is a frequent answer.
But this is controversial - there are various hominoids known worldwide, historically and in the present, who are bipedal.
They may have not been recognized by the "scientific community" but there are thousands of reported sitings and other evidence such as plaster casts of their footprints. Some are our size, one group in Malaysia is pygmy, and some are huge, like the fossil hominid gigantopithecus! To get information on them, look up Crytids, which includes many other types of animals seen but not recognized.
The one closest to home is the sasquatch or bigfoot, known by many other names in every native American language. They have been sighted in every state which has forests (and/or mountains) and in Canada, possibly in Central and South America. They are very large, fast, powerful, and bipedal. They resort to all fours only very occasionally when pursued. They are omnivorous and excellent hunters, and practice hiding techniques, hiding from humans behind trees or crouching down in brush. They observe us a lot, because they monitor and are very defensive of their territories, and will make loud noises to scare away humans. However they rarely if ever attack us.
They build rudimentary temporary shelters. They live in monogamous small family groups and have language which includes words! Language experts have not been able to interpret their languages. They are spoken very rapidly in a high pitched voice, like the recorded speech of dolphins. There is at least one recording of it
with a transcription and analysis.
They are thought to be very old in the Western Hemisphere, having come over on the northern Bering land bridge when their bamboo forests in Asia went through a periodic die off. They have been very successful here and may be a contemporary survival of Gigantopithecus blackii.
There are many hoaxed accounts, photos, etc., but too great a mass of genuine accounts of sightings and casts of footprints to ignore.
We should acknowledge their existence but leave them alone. They are a lot like us but are also wild animals who merit our protection, especially the protection of the wildland habitats where they have successfully lived for centuries, even eons.

Is a homosapiens a gay person?
All humans are part of the species bipedal primate in the family of Hominidae, also known as Homo Sapien's, from the Latin meaning "wise human" or "knowing human" The actual definition of Homo Sapien is the modern species of humans, the only extant species of the primate family Hominidae. It has absolutely nothing to do with Homo(sexuality).
Do turkeys have limbs?
Of coure they do. All birds have limbs: wings, legs and tail. One intriguing, or thought-provoking, point is that birds and humans are the planet's only bipedal animals! (Even the primate apes can only shamble along with the aid of their arms.)
Which primate has no pigment in their palm?

Why primates went from walking as quadrapods to bipedals?
Humans are the only bipedal primates. Our ancestors a few million years back were quadrupeds. Our earliest ancestors that were bipedal were the Australopethicines.
Are dolphins and whales humans?
No, dolphins and whales are dolphins and whales, members of the Order Cetacea. Only people are humans. Humans, like dolphins and whales, are mammals. But humans are members of the Primate Order.
Are apes bipedal?
Most apes 'can' be bipedal, in that their hip joints allow them to put their legs directly below their body. Chimpanzees, Bonobos, Orangutans, Gibbons and Siamangs will willingly walk on their hindlimbs in a bipedal fashion to some extent (particularly the gibbons!). They usually braciate or knuckle-walk (depending on species) for preference. It is only humans that are bipedal the majority of the time.

No primates are aquatic. All primates live on land. Only a few can swim at all, and humans are one of these.

Is a cow a primate?
No, a way of checking this is by noticing that we humans are primates. We do not digest grass well (our appendix have devolved from that as we do not only eat herbs anymore) However cows do
