I fondly remember "Pandora's Planet".  Christopher Anvil was
always a hoot.  It's been some 50 years since I read it though;
I'm not sure how well it'd hold up.  Interesting concept...
The aliens have been doing their thing for a very long time,
but they're not quite as intelligent, on average, as humans.

I must have read the Asimov story, but I don't remember
anything about it.
