Generally animals that run on their hooves or toes can outrun predators
if they are healthy. Even the healthiest of early hominids could not have
outrun the predators in treeless habitat. From this we can reasonably
conclude that early hominids never or rarely strayed far from treed
habitat.

At what point DID hominids cease
to be so utterly dependent on trees?

I never indicated they were, "utterly dependent." In fact I don't even know
what you mean by that. I'm talking about surviving the predatory realities
that existed in late miocene, pliocene east Africa. Try to follow.

It would have been a major marker,
since the first hominid population
to achieve it would have taken over
the world, and out-competed all
other hominids. There should be
good evidence,

Of what? Try being specific you vague twit.


We can also assume that at this
point, hominids ceased to sleep in
trees, and ceased to live a life, and
occupy a habitat, identical with
that of chimps. So there must
also be major anatomical changes.

When was it?

It's your delusion.
