Human survival and the spread of humans into a variety of ecosystems has been enabled by the use of tools and technologies to protect us from environment, climate, food shortages, and all forms of threats and dangers, and the passing on of the required skills and knowledge through language is the key enabler. Chimps and gorillas have largely remained within their natural environments, and have not been able to pass on much from generation to generation that is learned, so the ability to pass on and process extra knowledge has not been a deciding factor in determining survival.
