They're Made out of Meat
This reminds me of a proposition put forth once (I think on tumblr of all places) that while humans are normally considered a "baseline" species in sci-fi, what would a sci-fi universe look like where humans were the superbeings?<p>There were dozens of replies along the lines of:<p>"I heard humans can survive losing a limb! Or even multiple limbs!"<p>"Their strength and tolerance for gravity far exceeds our own!"<p>"When one of their organs fails they can just swap it out with another compatible human that's died recently!"<p>It's pretty funny to imagine, and it's a perspective not often seen.
