Shape of vertebral column - s shaped spine, unlike ape's who have a huntched c shaped spine

Position of foramen magnum - the position where the spine connects with the skull/brain. in humans it is directly in the center of the skull base suggesting bipedialism locomaotion.

Foot - structure of the foot including the big toe allows us to be bipedial and stand upright with our weight centred along the spine (in a column)- the feet support the legs, the legs support the upper body etc..
