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?

      Definitely check this one out, OP. It’s fantastic.

      “A Fire Upon the Deep” and “A Deepness in the Sky”, both by Vernor Vinge, are great too.

      The Mote in God’s Eye by Larry Niven is exactly what you want

      I think you meant written by Jerry Pournelle and Larry Niven.
