I like to point out that, given the present nomenclature where humans are apes, we need to always refer to Chimps as humans seeing how they
evolved from upright walking ancestors who in all probability used tools
in a way people only pretend that Chimps do.
Put short: Chimps arose FROM our line, not the other way around.
And when we talk about bipedalism in paleo terms, we're really talking
about changes to the anatomy such as placement of the foramen
magnum, which has to move towards the center of the skull to be held
upright, but is further back on chimps than we find on any candidate
for a Chimpanzee ancestor.
Chimps can stand on their legs. Chimps can even walk upright. But, the foramen magnum is still located much closer to the back of the skull than found on humans and it's own distant ancestors. It's clearly NOT a bipedal species. It has evolved AWAY from bipedal locomotion and to knuckle
walking.
Neandertals had the For.M more dorsally than we have:
From FRONT to center, yes, but not from the back.

All apes had vertical ancestors, google our TREE paper "aquarboreal apes".

No: both Pan & Homo evolved from aquarboreal (stone-tool-using?) ancestors.
Neandertals had the For.M more dorsally than we have:
our fully upright wading-walking locomotion is only late-Pleistocene?
Don't you understand "dorsal"?
Which is not accurate from the standard use of the word.
