That’s because the dominant scientific paradigm has particular cultural worldviews and assumptions embedded in it. Enlightenment philosophy—derived from a European Greco-Christian worldviews—held that animals were created different and inferior to humans, and that informed behaviorist paradigms.

Well said.
I have work to do but I'm distracted by watching US scientific progress & leadership being irreversibly undermined because a few unelected malcontents are penalizing researchers for following legal requirements set out by congressional orders to augment basic research with benefits to society.
