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?

Considering I'm in my umpteenth play through; I feel like Mass Effect fits into this. Humans and other aliens are more or less on the same technological level.

There's a little more depth to it but it's something you can find out more while playing. There's also some comics about it.

ME is one of my absolute favourite SF. It just happens to be a game ;-)
