2500 years ago Hanno the navigator, a major naval figure from Carthage, set sail on one of the great voyages of discovery. He sailed from the Mediterranean out of the straights of Gibraltar to explore the coast of Africa with a fleet of 60 ships, he worked his way down the coast past Mauritania to subsaharan Africa where he found his surprise that the people there all had "burnt skin" as he described it, which is to say they were negroes. After meeting people like this for a while every time his ships made landfall, Hanno eventually came to an island off the coast of what is now Cameroon that was filled with burnt skin people who were very hairy and extremely unruly. He named this tribe "Gorillas".
Because Hanno was not influenced by our modern ideas of species he had to call things as he saw them and he was unable to differentiate between gorillas and African negroes other than that the gorillas were hairier.

The most funny part of this pasta is the fact that it's actually historically accurate.

Compared to gorillas, humans are weak. Compared to mice, humans are extremely strong. Compare us to all mammals, and humans are middling in size and strength.

And, of course, a better question would be, why are all animals except humans so fucking dumb?

Over 70% of mammal species come from the orders Rodentia, (rodents); Chiroptera, (bats); and Soricomorpha, (shrews).

Sure a Gorilla could probably cave your chest in with a single punch. But a Gorilla will still die to a thrown spear or a big rock flung from a sling, likely before it can even get close enough to touch you.
Also, they have really, really small penises.

I vaguely remember once reading gorillas have more muscle but humans have more nerves inside their muscles which give them greater control and dexterity, or something to that effect.

Language. Both verbal and written. It allows us to pass on the collective knowledge of the human race from one generation to the next. Without this collective historical knowledge we revert to feral little monkeys.

It's also because we have different types of muscle fibers, and our muscles are less dense. Non-human primates have more fast twitch muscle fibers while humans have more slow twitch fibers. Fast twitch fibers are better at, well, fast and powerful movements. Slow twitch fibers are much better for endurance and fine motor control.
Skeletal anatomy and the attachment points of muscles to the bones also play a role because of leverage.

Nah. I got a longer reach and am smarter. I can easily take him out in 3 movements or less.

What the fuck kind of proportions do you have to have a reach greater than a gorilla with an 8 ft arm span

Because we don't have to do gymnastics all day.
Plus muscle is metabolically expensive, so it's selected against during food scarcity.

I know, and so it is with many other small frugivore primates, it is intriguing why gorillas are so large.
I'm not saying sexual selection is the reason, but it doesn't have to make sense sometimes, it just has to be attractive
