Why are humans so physically weak compared to other animals?

1.79K 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?

I’d wager our brain probably has a lot to do with it, as well as our anatomy. Too much build isnt necessarily good for survival, muscles require alot of energy and in the wild conservation of resources is pretty important.

I say our brain due to our ability to problem solve. We may not be able to lift this object by ourselves but we can create a tool or a means to lift that object, thus not needing the extra strength.
