True but the most advanced are bipedal ... maybe that's luck, maybe it ain't but it seems to me that evolution is driven by anything other than "luck" ... in other words there's a good reason why we are the way we are (and I ain't talking intelligent design).
I'm afraid I have to disagree. There is no such thing as "more advanced".

We are how we are because of the steps we followed to get here, as far as I am aware most larger organisms are mirrored (ie: same on both sides) . If the first "mirrored" common ancestor was actually 3 or 4 waqy symetrical then the subsequent generations would follow that pattern.

And, when it comes down to it, there is probably no criteria you could choose for our "advanced-ness" that wouldn't be beaten by another organism!
