Bipedalism is the characteristic that hominins have and sets them apart from other primates. Bipedalism refers to locomoting. It is walking primarily upright on two feet, movement on two feet.
Walking upright distinguishes humans from other primates. Walking, running, or hopping are types of bipedal movement.
