Human-level mobility however is not much to write home about. Just one more variation of the many types seen in animals.

Human level intelligence is, otoh, qualitatively and quantitatively a bigger deal.

I wouldn't agree completely. Being bipedal frees up the hands for, anything, really.

We're better than most animals because we have tools. We have great tools because we have hands.
