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?
In: Biology
Our ‘physical strength’ comes from our strength in numbers and our ability to cooperate. It’s largely attributed to our intelligence and capability of higher order thinking.
The physique of a human is by no means ‘weak’. An adult is physically larger than many animals and can kill them without ‘tools’.
On top of that, things which may seem minor such as opposable thumbs actually give our bodies much more utility than other animals.
