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?

Children of Time sort of fits in. Also if you liked the Ender's Game sequels and how he handled how aliens can truly be alien and the difficulty of aliens to communicate to each other you'll most likely like the whole series by Adrian Tchaikovksy, and most likely some of his other sci-fi books.
