Another way of interpreting the man made "a little lower than the angels" is that it is speaking of his humble and earthly position relative to the angels heavenly position. It need not mean than man is an inferior species to angels, but rather that he has been placed in a more humble standing than angels. At least temporarily, hence the remainder of the passage "You have crowned him (man) with glory and honor."
