Answer 1

Bipedalism is considered one of the hallmarks of hominid evolution because it: B. was the first evolutionary development that distinguished humans from other animals.

Explanation:

Bipedalism refers to locomotion that is movement of organism with the help of limbs or legs. The animal usually moves in a bipedal manner that is with the help of two feet. Walking, running and hopping are considered as some of the bipedal movements.

Hominid includes human and great apes. Human evolution led to the emergence of anatomically modern humans differentiating from the history of primates.

The humans are distinguished from other animals only after the evolution of Bipedalism.
