Cosmic Steeple-Chase by Robert A. Wait:
Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas

"IN our own little world we are doing pretty well. If progress was not particularly rapid at the beginning of life — as far as we know — civilization, it seems to us, has more than justified its existence within the last century — mechanically speaking. But what if there is a race of intelligent beings somewhere in the universe to whom we might well seem like a lot of groping, ignorant children? Here's what an astronomer thinks about such a possibility."

('Cosmic Steeple-Chase' by Robert A. Wait)
