Evolution of Bearfolk

What animals and in what conditions would evolve into something resembling a bearfolk like this one

A ''bear'' humanoid of 600"“800 pounds standing in two legs, divided in many sub-species with different diets, habits and civilizations.

How long is estimated the time for something like this to ever evolve starting from the 24th century? And ignoring completely the existance of humanity. For this question just imagine humanity never existed in the first place so it can't affect the bearfolk.

What else could speed up the evolution of a bearfolk?

Would it develop sexual dismorphism? how high are the chances of it having naturally greater potential in intelligence than humans?

how strong would it be, what limits on strenghts can it physically have? The strongest man on earth Zydrunas Savickas can lift 2.37 times its own weight, about 1155 pounds and seems to become stronger every year. Zydrunas Savickas could lift a bear folk but could this bear looking humanoid lift as much or even more?

How fast can it run and for how much time? does it run on two or four legs?

I want it to have rectangular pupils like goats so it can have a field of view of 320°, twice larger than humans. Is it possible or efficient?
