How did they walk? Is the knuckle-walking seen in chimps and gorillas unique to their respective genera, or was our common ancestor a knuckle-walker?

OP, chimps are closer related to humans than they are gorillas.

Yes, our common ancestor would have dragged their knuckles while walking.

I drag my dick while walking, am I at the next evolutionary stage?

does your dick hang low
does it wobble to the floor
can you tie it in a knot
can you tie it in a bow
can you hang it over your shoulder
is it heavier then a bolder


?

Evolution is the gradual change in a species over time. I'm sure you're joking anyway. We cannot predict how we are going to evolove over time, build a time machine for that.

But most experts today think that because no Miocene apes show signs of knuckle-walking, that our LCA with the chimps and the gorillas was most likely a semi-bipedal tree-climber. Sahelanthropus (possible Pan-Homo LCA) shows signs of bipedality and a climbing nature, and Pierolapithecus (possible LCA of hominini and gorillini) has tree-climbing adaptations but no knuckle-walking ones.
