You've described the situation from 1-2 million years ago. Homo sapiens were not the only intelligent species, there were numerous hominid species at various points. We interbred, killed, dominated, and out-competed these species, to their ruin. I don't fancy meeting another, slightly more capable version of ourselves, as that would likely lead to the same outcome for us.
