I'd still argue we were never the dominant species, as we could never eliminate all worms, for instance. Sure, we can win a fight against individual worms, but their many species don't much care what we're up to, and they vastly outnumber and outweigh us.
Our population is still limited by nature.
I get what you're saying though; we've been the most willfully clever at solving many limits to growth, and that has unintended consequences.
I kinda think genetic engineering (designer babies) will solve/mitigate many problems, including overpopulation, and introduce new and interesting problems. Such is the way of progress!
