It doesn't seem like the question should be walking vs climbing- climbing is so useful (and we can still do it to an extent today) that it would have stuck around for as long as possible even as walking evolved. The tradeoff to me seems to be between climbing vs throwing (ie hunting), carrying children and supplies, and using tools dexterously.
The speaker asks whether Lucy's children climbed trees .... I don't know .. .lets look at modern 8 and 10 year old boys and girls. Do they climb trees? Are they Home Sapiens, or chimps?
But he is referring to survival behavior related to food-getting, nest-building, and safety from ground predators, and doing these things on a daily basis and not as recreation.
Lucy lived in a mosaic woodland? That would be an environment that has some sort of elephant as a keystone species - we should be nice to the elephants because without them we wouldn't have evolved.

Dikika the ancestors of Lucy.
What is CARTA? I'm getting mixed results on Google, but I'm trying to do my own research. Can anyone break the acronym down for me?
CARTA - Center for Academic Research and Training in Anthropogeny
