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?

I’ve always thought that it isn’t so much strength where we lag behind animals, rather it is in instinct and reflex. We need to think about the things that we do, which allows animals who just act to have an advantage over us in reaction time.

Although, we do in general lag behind in strength now as well, due to our more sedentary lifestyle.
