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?

Looks like I can pick up a Boxset at my "local" comic book store. So in gonna do that on the weekend.

Is this a prequel that relies on any sort of knowledge before going in?

Forexample; in the known space universe the "juggler of worlds" is set before the events of the ringworld series. But it relies on previous knowledge about races and spaces, for it to be enjoyable :)

No, I think this is one if the best starting points overall. I hope you are going to enjoy it. 😀
