The answer isn't so difficult if we use the anatomical & comparative evidence.

All this suggests in early apes a more vertical & arm-hanging locomotion, as is necessary in swamp forests, and sometimes (in spite of Pleistocene coolings?) still can be seen in pongids & hominids wading bipedally in forest swamps, google e.g. "bonobo

Indeed:
this is from a real anthropologist:
Professor Phillip Tobias (who held the chair of Raymond Dart) was initially sympathetic to the savannah model, but in 1995 he exclaimed:
“We were all profoundly and unutterably wrong! ...
Open the window and throw out the savannah hypothesis; it’s dead and we need a new paradigm ...
All the former savannah supporters (including myself) must now swallow our earlier words in the light of the new results from the early hominid deposits.”

Does your dwelling have wood frame? Most do. Continuum of forest shelters used.

you're still confusing apes+apiths & Homo:
stone tools = molluscivory:
google "Joordens Munro shell engravings"

What made apes so different from monkeys?
Use the anatomical & comparative evidence.
Apes
- are generally much larger than monkeys (Mio-Pliocene hylobatids probably reduced in size, but still have unexpectedly long gestation periods for their size),
- lost the tail (unlikely in arboreal animals),
- evolved a very broad & strong sternum (Hominoidea = Latisternalia: their thorax broadened -> scapulas more dorsally = arms more laterally),
- their spine shifted from dorsal to central in the body (vertical rather than horizontal spine?),
- their lumbar spine reduced from 7 to 5 vertebras (id.),
- their arms lengthened (more below-branch locomotion) etc.
Most mammals (quadrupedal) have a dorsal spine + a narrow body suspended below it: a latero-laterally narrow pelvis & thorax & rod-like sternebrae,
but early apes evolved stronger ams & a more vertical & very broad body.
IOW, early apes had a more vertical & arm-hanging locomotion, as is necessary in swamp forests.
In spite of Pleistocene coolings, this is still seen in pongids & hominids wading bipedally in forest swamps, google e.g. "bonobo wading".
From this ancestral-hominoids wading bipedalism, only humans remain BP:
- hylobatids evolved brachiation, but are still predom.vertical,
- pongids evolved suspensory locomotion (& pronograde fist-walking),
- Gorilla & Pan in parallel evolved (different kinds of) knuckle-walking (australopiths->African apes).
