Any sci-fi with aliens where humans are not the less advanced race? (lemmings.world)

What the title says, I'm tired of the trope where humans are the least advanced in the universe.

I'd like to read something different where we're the more advanced ones (not necessarily the most advanced). As an example I quite enjoyed the Ender's Game sequels and the angle of us being the more advanced ones was quite interesting.

Do you have any recommendations?

You can watch Star Trek: Strange New Worlds easily without watching the old ones (I only watched a few episodes of the older ones when I was young).
I also recommend The Orville if you're into Seth MacFarlane's type of comedy

Honestly I recommend it even if you aren't into his comedy. It's a bit thick in the first half of the first season, but it becomes a decent sci-fi show in general past that point.

The Orville was the best new trek until strange new worlds

I love the Orville! Reminds me of farscape.
