How many hours or actually years of evolution have been needed until reaching walking capability? If first life is believed to have happened 4 billion years ago, and first walking animals started 450 million years ago during the siluariab period, that’s around 3,5 billion years.

That's not really a great comparison though because evolution wasn't trying to learn how to walk.

  Evolution wasn't trying to do anything. But learning (in some sense) to walk was exactly something that evolution did, albeit very indirectly.
