They're incredibly strong because their lifestyle equates to a nonstop workout. A human can also be extremely strong if it exists under those circumstances, but we generally don't.

gorillas are cooler than chimps, i also think it would be less painful and humiliating to be mauled by a gorilla, like a cleaner kill. discuss

This is the real answer. It also means if you trained a chimp to be a baseball pitcher, the best they could do would result in the ball plopping onto the ground half-way to the batter.

hmm i don't think so i think a chimp would throw a mean slider

Humans can have that too, it's a mutation of the myostatin gene. But that's not why chimpanzees are so strong.

their tendons attach muscle to their bones in different places giving them more mechanical advantage than humans

They also have longer muscle fibers than humans giving them a better strength/weight ratio.

Chimps are downright sadistic little fuckers. They're not satisfied to just beat you or kill you, instead they want to disfigure you, bite off all your fingers and your nose, tear off your ears and dick, and peel the skin off your face. Every time I see someone on tv with a pet chimp I'm half expecting them to get mauled any second.

Video of woman who survived a chimp attack. Intersting to note this chimp was 200lbs!

aliens came to earth and mixed their dna with primates to make slaves (humans) cause they didn't want to do gruntwork, and didn't want the slaves to be stronger than them

Individual muscle density or length, I forget which. Basically humans traded the strength for better agility with our hands or some poo poo like that

As I understand it, apes have high bursts of strength, but humans are much better when it comes to endurance.

Humans can run for a lot longer, and can chase prey to an exhaustive death. Hooray for two legs! Also, guns.

I think that has more to do with double threat combo of being able to sweat to keep cool and carry replenishing water at the same time.
