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?
There were dozens of replies along the lines of:
"I heard humans can survive losing a limb! Or even multiple limbs!"
"Their strength and tolerance for gravity far exceeds our own!"
"When one of their organs fails they can just swap it out with another compatible human that's died recently!"
It's pretty funny to imagine, and it's a perspective not often seen.
