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

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?

H. Beam Piper's Fuzzy series. It's been a long while since I read them, but I remember them being good.

The first one, Little Fuzzy, is one of my favorite books of all time. The rest are less good? but still decent? Steer clear of Scalzi's "remake" though, it's trash.
