This study recently came out, and added another piece of evidence for Australopithecus afarensis living most of its life in the trees (which doesn’t mean it couldn’t or didn’t walk upright when it needed to).

Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
That grow so incredibly high" - The Beatles

I sometimes wonder if the Beatles were when they wrote that song

I have been fortunate enough take an online course with Don Johanson as the lecturer. He’s a great lecture and a true expert, it was not purely happenstance that he found found it. It was skill, hard work, and lots of research. Okay maybe a little luck too.
