[Star Wars] Why does it seem like humans are the dominant species in the galaxy?

Nearly every position of power has been taken over by a human or a humanoid mamely the Empire or the Rebel alliance ,  why is it that in the trilogies most of the decisive characters in the series are human?

Humans seeded the galaxy via generational/sleeper ships before the Infinite Empire conquered everything. While the Rakata were technologically suppressing the entire galaxy and preventing various races from developing hyperdrive, humans were spreading from planet to planet just fine.

Once the Rakata were obliterated and (non-Force powered) hyperdrive hit the scene, humans had already established themselves on hundreds of habitable planets. Humans are in more positions of influence/power because they outnumber everybody else by a tremendous margin. There's just *more* of them.
