But what if the human form is a prerequisite for evolving into the space age? We wouldn't need so many tools if we were strong as a crab to begin with

I've never seen a crab measure thousandths of an inch, or back a Phillip's head screw out of a hole with their crab strength. Tools are still required.

I've seen a wasp unscrew a screw I thought was in pretty tight.

The premise is that they won't invent advanced things such as screws because the survival pressure is less intense
