Superior in what way? Birds sing songs we can not hope to mimic. It took us hundreds of thousands of years to spin something as beautiful and complex as a spider web. Bees produce honey. Alcohol is created by yeast. Plants and bacteria produce medicine. Milk is (generally) extracted from other animals. All we've learned to do is utilize what nature produces for us. And it took us hundreds of thousands of years to get there. We are the most intelligent species on the planet. Undoubtedly. I'm not even disputing the fact that we're the most creative. All I'm saying is that we have not subverted our basal animal nature.
