INTRODUCTION    Full essay: This essay explores a significant query: To what extent may our scientific knowledge of systems not containing humans (or involving direct human interference during the interval studied) NOT APPLY to our knowledge gained from the “scientific” study of systems with humans as primary components and/or participants?
