We're the toughest of the land animals, by far.

The only land animals that can match us for endurance are certain breeds of horses and dogs, because we bred them specifically to keep up with us. There are lots of tribes around the world whose hunting tactic is to walk at a particular deer until it falls over dead.

We also have really good immune systems, giving us the ability to live all over the world in various filthy conditions without immediately dying from infection.

And our digestive systems are very flexible. Some prehistoric people were completely vegeterian, some lived entirely off of fish, etc.

Show me an animal that can do all that.

I'm not sure if you're disagreeing with me, or amplifying, but to be clear, I am specifically referring to strength. Not endurance or any other sort of "toughness".

Can't have it all. All in all it's a good trade when you have "tools", which includes "weapons".
