The Babylon5 Example is still is not very nuanced. One of the themes that runs through that show is that humanity, after its near brush with extinction via the Minnbari, become obessed with aquireing advanceding alien tech. Actually, even thats not entirely true, Earth Alliance had the same fixation before the war, but after, it really kicks into high gear. However, Humans do not \'advance swiftly\', so much as, \'catch up quickly\' which is something completely different. IPX for example, exists specifically to locate advanced alien tech on dead worlds for EA to reverse-engineer. They also actively seek to purchase, steal w/e, advanced tech from there other races at every opportunity. The other races have allready done the heavy lifting so to speak, and all humanity needs to do is adapt it to there needs. Later on, Mimbar begins to share its advanced tech with EA, technology humanity was no where near capable of figuring out on its own.
