Any sci-fi with aliens where humans are not the less advanced race?

Ender's Game may fit this, but the sequel Speaker for the Dead definitely does. Not to give away too many details, but it's basically about a space anthropologist making second contact with an alien race still confined to its own planet. I'd say the first book has humans and aliens more or less at parity, but in the second the humans are more technologically advanced. Both are more meditations on otherness more than anything.
Yep, that's where my inspiration for such sub-genre is from! I even mentioned it in the post.
Oops, my bad I did not read carefully enough haha. Still amazing!
