There have been Scifi Novels that undid that trope before it became a trope. Esp. in the latest Perry Rhodan Novels the humans on earth are not really that big anymore. It's not a new idea. "Humans are insignificant" in scifi can probably be traced somewhat into the works of Lovecraft and similar, where this was thoroughly explored.
