Many theorize that part of the reason is because humans started to expand out of the jungle and into savannas. In this type of environment, hominids would have had greater efficiency if they were bipedal. Walking on two legs allows greater field of vision because the head is held up higher, allowing better access to predators and food. It also frees the two other limbs which can be used to make tools.

Animals walk on four legs because it is more stable than walking on two legs. Dinosaurs were very large, and it would have taken a lot of energy for them to walk on two legs. The ones who did walk on two legs were usually predators (like Tyrannosaurus rex or velociraptor) because they could get more energy from eating other animals than from eating plants.
