But what ingredient (for lack of a better term) in evolution pointed us toward becoming humans, rather than those low center-of-gravity living weebles?

Mutation and selection. We don't know all of the specific mutations, but we have many good candidates as being integral to who we are today and how we diversified from other Homo branches.

What makes us Homo sapiens, rather than Qui sapiens?
Brings two “who” questions to mind... one is from King David in Psalms 8:3-4, “When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; what is man, that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man that thou visitest him?” The other, I remember from somewhere, “Who is man that he presumes to know God?” Either way you go, I can't see man just being a happenstance result of macroevolution.

Are you assuming that humans were the desired end product of evolution?

Only a Homo Sapien could come up with something as weird as "Green Eggs and Ham." :sorry:
