Why are monkeys so strong?

The primary reason primates are so much stronger then us is that the motor units in their muscles are evolved for maximum muscle fiber contraction, and ours are evolved for fine motor skills. In other words, their motor neurons lay across muscle fibers, and our motor neurons lay along them.
