According to a special they had on the Science Channel a while ago, rodents would most likely become the next dominant species. Their reasoning for this belief was that order's small size, short breeding cycle, great adaptability and the fact that they represent over 40% of all mammalian species.

There wouldn't be a dominant species, the Earth would simply carry on as it does now, just without the aggro of six billion humans trampling all over it. For example how could Dolphins take control over the Jungle and just what would a polar bear do to rule Asia

Most likely wouldnt be a dominating species worldwide. Different countries would be different animals. How could a Lion ever get to the UK without human help.

Humans are an evolutionary oddity - we are singular in our ability and hunger for new habitats to 'dominate'. It is one of those things that seems to mark us out has different from the rest of creation.
On the other hand, the rest of the animal kingdom seeks out familiar habitats in which to carry on doing what they have always done. Any 'dominating' that might go on in these cases is a by-product of normal behaviour and not a deliberate goal in itself.

The human being is the only 'thing' that is capable of "dominating" this planet. Another 'Glaring' example that sets us aside from 'normal' or 'natural' evolution and separates us from all other Earth's creatures!

Insects are the dominant species of this planet. They out number us by billions.
Just because we can build buildings and read books dont mean we dominate the planet

I've heard it said in a documentary that the most likely successor to the human race would be the rat.

Dolphins or Chimpanzees. Both have an ideal Brain to Body ratio.
That is if we don't kill them off first.
