I kind of get the idea that the Federation at the time was just this gigantic shitshow.
Within the Federation, humanity has affectively taken over as the prime species, with the other founding members withdrawing a lot to their home systems. Vulcans are barely there in Starfleet and seemed to be judged a lot by their peers for doing so. Tellarites and Andorians are even less prevalent, making a lot of their service a novelty.
So you've got the youngest of the four members leading expansion through their territory and it goes just about as well as you'd think.
have we ever even seen a non-human admiral? the president isn't human but it seems like the entirety of starfleet brass is
There was a Vulcan Admiral on DS9, so that's at least one. The Federation Presidents seem to be non-Human more often than not though, which makes sense.
Perhaps suggesting humans are the most adventurous/likely of the species in the federation?
maybe, or maybe there's some species ism happening at the upper tiers of starfleet. there are SO many species and people in the lower echelons, it makes no sense for the admirals to be so homogeneous. plus the admirals being bigoted aholes would play into how 99% of the admirals we meet are egotistical douches who seem to be working directly against the very ideals starfleet claims to represent
