Why are humans so physically weak compared to other animals?

1.81K views

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?

Sure, a naked unarmed human alone is easy pickings for almost any predator.

It’s a good thing you will almost never be naked unarmed and alone. We don’t need brute strength and we are phenomenally well suited to compensating for our weakness.

Also as others have said, we are endurance animals (the best endurance runners in the animal kingdom).
