Why would even be a next "dominant single species", like humans?

Out of the billions of alive organisms that had ever been on earth only humans have human intelligence. It doesn't seem like a common trait for any organism.

I think that humans are just some weird anomaly. Once we are gone there will probably not be any other intelligent species for a while, if forever.
