You ignored the weakness of humans. A human male is a 6th of the strength of a chimp. Humans have to work together because they are too weak to defend themselves on their own.

Secondly humans being able to talk gives them a greater propensity for lying and bullshitting which is a risk other animals don't have to deal with that much.
