Let's say you have rats and human brain samples and are ready to present a finding. Do you hold off until you find an ape brain, find expertise in dealing with ape brains (if reqiured), deal with IRB issues related to using those materials, run the tests, then publish? Obviously not. You use this preliminary work to run a more definitive series of experiments. This is how science works..as a series of studies, not a single definitive study.
