Two legs?
Two legs are not the fastest thing in the world.
They're more practical
HOW

In fact, we are a lot less balanced in some ways.
Ever heard of a cheetah?
They have to run fast because that's their only way to catch food.
BECAUSE ALL LIFE EXCEPT INTELLIGENT LIFE NEEDS TO BE FAST

Birds can fly.
I eat birds. 2 points to team humans
THAT IS A REFERENCE TO HUMANITY'S INTELLIGENCE. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHETHER OR NOT THEY LOOK ANTHROPOMORPHIC.

Being able to have "smooth and fast running" is completely irrelevant, anyway.
Like I said, it's the most practical.
PRATICAL FOR WHAT WE DO

Life can have a completely different setup to accommodate its needs for energy. Think from the very bottom. Will arms, legs, eyes, fingers, will they evolve in every environment, evolve the same way?
Not exactly, but that's not at all what I was implying
WHAT WERE YOU IMPLYING...?

The human hand is one of our defining characteristics. It can grip things very effectively.
There are innumerable other ways that good handling can be made.
I understand this
THANK YOU. I THINK.

Imagine a tentacle with a tentacle spiraling out near the end, making a sort of grip.
Or, perhaps, like the Eosapien, tentacle-like "fingers" that can grip things in ways far different than the human way.
Tentacles would barely work on land
I NEVER
loving
SAID SO

Octopus tentacles grip things very strongly and perhaps very finely, perhaps even more finely with some tuning.
What if there were no legs to begin with? What if it was an aquatic ecosystem that had no legs in the first place?
There's no reason for intelligent life to evolve underwater.
THERE'S TNOT REAOSN THAYT THEYS SHOUDLNY

What if manipulation came from other places, a tail, perhaps, there are many, many, many ways things can work.
I know this

Again, you're basing all life off of chordates.
There is their environment, but if their environment favors such qualities, they sure as hell can develop them.

I need to calm down.

ok, birds are bipedal because they have two feet. if a fish comes to earth we won't know about it because it's a loving fish.

Okay, what's the point you're making again?

[Tingalz]

if bipeds had feet they would be bipeds with feet and thus have biped feet

[Ector]

if bipeds had feet they would be bipeds with feet and thus have biped feet

okay what
the word bipedal means to have two feet
saying biped feet means two footed feet

[The Titanium]

A practical body shape

Now this?
This depends entirely on environment.
Practical for what environment?
Not all environments are the same SHUT UP QWEPIR I KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO SAY THAT ALL ENVIRONMENTS ARE THE SAME FOR SOME REASON they're not.

if bipeds had feet they would be bipeds with feet and thus have biped feet

This isn't your actual argument right? This is a joke, right?
That's like saying a blue rock is blue because it is a blue rock.
That. That get's nothing nowhere.

Practical for the environment they live in, of course.

Think about it. Using the same logic, bipeds with arms would be armed bipeds, and have biped arms. Biped arms are usually associated with bipeds, such as humans. Humans therefore have to have biped arms since they are bipeds.

[Coolio]

biped bipeds are bipededs?

[Ector]

okay, do you even know what biped means? biped arms isn't the correct way of using this word.

[The Titanium]

okay, okay

who gives a stuff about bipeds
we are talking about intelligent life
not bipeds

intelligent life categorizes life that is intelligent
bipedal life categorizes life that is bipedal, regardless of how intelligent they are

[Ector]

okay, okay

who gives a stuff about bipeds
we are talking about intelligent life
not bipeds

but intelligent biped lives must be bipedaled to liiiive.

[Night Fox]

Qwepir and Tingalz can sure be starfishs, but they're really good at not being ignorant.

[The Titanium]

Nah, Tingalz isn't an starfish.

[Tingalz]

okay
take a human
and give it 88 more legs
it would be a 90 legged human
and have 90 legs

[?]

Qwepir and Tingalz can sure be starfishs, but they're really good at not being ignorant.

theres a choice
you can either be smart and a back door
or stupid and really nice
crossbreeds are very rare
