The first evidence of humans walking upright dates back to around 4-6 million years ago, with species like Australopithecus. Walking upright was a significant evolutionary adaptation that allowed early humans to use their hands for tool-making and carrying objects, leading to further advancements in their development.

Why did the human beings evolve into standing in an upright position not in the horizontal way?

To need arms to function as efficiently as humans do. To evolve horizontally would require support from four (or maybe three) limbs, and evolving a third set of limbs to serve as arms in very unlikely in a mammal. I don't think a six-limbed mammal exists...

Where in Africa was found the first human being?

Human beings came from Africa, and migrated over the rest of the planet from there; as proven by the National Geographic Magazine and the PBS science show Nova. The first man in Africa was the first human, along with the first woman in Africa. No one knows the name of the first man and the first woman. It was probably long after the first man and first woman appeared, that people were given names.
