[Star Trek]Why does humanity tend to advance faster than other races?

1800 odd years after getting into space (at least), Vulcan ships are still limited to just under warp 7. Humanity went from their first space flight to warp 7 ships in just 200 years.

Humans, besides having had a bit of a technological leg up from their time as a Vulcan protectorate, are uniquely good at networking. They were able to bring together the advancements of other nearby polities by bringing those polities into an alliance and ultimately the Federation.

Human culture is also well-suited to technological advancement compared to many of their neighbors, in part because of that affinity for cooperation and experimentation. Vulcans are highly scientific, but comparatively cautious and calculating, preferring to stick to a sure thing until all the bugs are worked out of a new innovation. Tellarite culture prizes engineering but also emphasizes vigorous debates and argumentation, stymieing collaborative efforts that could yield faster progress. Klingons got a big leg up from the Hur'q early in their history but did not advance quickly after that, in part because of a culture that valued action over thought and war over learning. Andorians are the closest thing in terms of upstarts (having had space travel for several centuries but relying on hibernation ships until about Earth year 1987) but more or less kept pace with humans from that point. Romulans and Cardassians had similar problems with cooperation due to their secretive and treacherous cultures. And the Ba'ul were mostly content to remain in their tiny sphere of influence, torturing the Kelpiens for the depredations of their ancestors.
