In my story Orcs, humans, and a bunch of other fantasy races live along side each other and i'm curious as to what evolutionary pressures would to a group of divergent hominids to evolve into Orcs?

Note: Magic does not exist in my story

The basics of my Orcs

• Can range in height from 161.5cm (5ft 3in) to 213.3cm (7ft) tall

• Are as intelligent as humans

• Both men and woman have tusks though men do have larger ones

• Are much stronger than human being slightly weaker than a chimpanzee but spend more time resting (not necessarily sleeping)

• Have a mildly improved sense of smell

• Have a symbiotic relationship with a type of algae not only allowing the orcs to become much stronger but also giving them their iconic green skin
