Why are humans so physically weak compared to other animals?

For instance, most of us would have a very hard time surviving in the wild. And even then, we need tools in order to survive. Our physical strength is weak compared to many other animals. Why are we so weak compared to other wild animals who have no problem surviving on their own?

It is because we’re more capable of fine motor control with our muscles, which allows for the use of tools and accomplish many more tasks.

A chimp may lift twice as much as a man. However it will not be able to throw a rock at something at a distance with accuracy.
