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?

This has been recommended multiple times to me, so guess that’s the next one I’m reading after I finish the one I’m reading now. Thanks!

I second that recommendation. Project Hall Mary is probably my favorite book

The explanation why humans and aliens were comparably developed made sense.
