I always like “Humans are super-abstract math monsters that don’t understand real feelings” is an underused Sci-Fi thing: “Jones can instantly tell you how many eggs are in these ten crates of 1 dozen each, but his art is all about mating and weird rhythmic noises with numerical tonal relationships”
Thinking of sci-fi niches for the human race that aren't "adaptable," which is the coward's choice. I feel like we'd be famous for being good physicists. Splitting the atom before sending a human into space feels like it would be a rare sequence of events.
