There are tasks wich becomes very easy in team work, but real complex task (like big bridges, pyramids, etc.) requires the cooperation of more intelligent individuals.

They aren't smart to counteract some physical weakness, rather they are smart and physically powerful. For that matter, even great apes (incl humans) aren't all that puny physically.
