Bipedalism offers several advantages in the savanna, such as an elevated field of view, which helps early human ancestors spot predators and prey from a distance. Walking on two legs also frees the hands for carrying tools, food, or infants, enhancing survival and social cooperation. Additionally, bipedalism is more energy-efficient for long-distance travel, allowing for greater mobility in searching for resources across the vast landscape.

Describe two theories for why bipedalism evolved?
Two prominent theories for the evolution of bipedalism are the "Savanna Hypothesis" and the "Thermoregulatory Hypothesis." The Savanna Hypothesis suggests that as early hominins adapted to open grassland environments, bipedalism allowed them to travel longer distances to find food and resources while maintaining a higher vantage point to spot predators. The Thermoregulatory Hypothesis posits that standing upright reduces the surface area exposed to the sun, helping early humans to regulate body temperature more efficiently in hot environments, thus enhancing their endurance and survival.

Why are long lines of bushes common in the savanna?
In the savanna there are two seasons, rainy and dry. In the savanna the bushes are low and on hillsides and are drought resistant thorn bushes. Hope this helps......... Another reason might be that the water flows in long lines.......
What is the term for any primate bipedalism?
Hominid.
What did upright walking evolve from?
Upright walking, or bipedalism, evolved from ancestral primates that primarily moved through trees. Adaptations such as changes in pelvis shape, leg length, and the alignment of the spine allowed early hominins to walk on two legs more efficiently. This shift was likely driven by environmental changes, such as the expansion of savanna habitats, which favored the ability to cover larger distances for foraging and avoiding predators. Bipedalism also freed the hands for tool use and carrying objects.
