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?

Stanistaw Lem's Fiasco. It's a depressing read but really solid, and easier than many of his other works.
