Why this ancient history?
Not ancient, my little boy: 2007. Dart 1925 = really ancient.
First of all, you are confusing early Homo with hominids. Easy mistake
for an amateur
like you to make.
Second, you don't seem to understand that early Homo walked/ran
different than Lucy.
You haven't cited on iota of evidence that this is not true. Take your
own advice:

Verhaegin: "AAT is about what made Homo special & different from Pan,
it's not about apiths!
Repeating stupidity about Dart's hypothesis being argued today is
false. Why don't you cite Potts and Wang?
Too ignorant? I thought so.

"What advantage did it give us during our evolution?
One possibility is that our posture is a reasonable compromise, a way
to derive a relatively efficient terrestrial mode from an ape-like
body. We evolved this way because it allows us to walk long
distances.
Another possibility described in a new paper by Bramble and Lieberman
is that our posture is an adaptation for high-performance endurance
running, and that really we're a species of lopers, joggers, and
marathon runners.
What we have done, though, is pushed that long-range, aerobic gait,
the blue bars, to a greater speed than quadrupeds can match.
These physical adaptations to a walking/running lifestyle came first,
and our big brains may be a consequent side effect."
