When studying people, there's more of a need to be cautious and to take into consideration society and emotions because there are certain things you're not ethically able to do. Natural sciences are easier to do research on because you're not observing subjects who can get offended.

-humans typically have rights so there is a lot of restrictions
-humans could provide inaccurate information depending on the method used

Because you can't treat humans like test subjects, and you have to design different approaches to be able to carry out your research so it won't be considered unethical.

Humans have more advanced cognitive ability, and all people think differently. People also have more of a capacity for emotion, and process information differently, whereas with an animal, organisms within a species tend to act the same, not have as complicated a thinking process as humans

Humans have a lot of restrictions such as dishonesty or different thinking, no he is the same therefore clear answers are never certain

you can't treat people as subjects. also humans are more unpredictable and they can lie to you and switch your results.

Because compared to a plant humans are intelligent creatures with extremely complicated emotions and I wouldn’t recommend treating them like a plant or animal (not saying animals don’t also have feelings)

When dealing with humans, there are many more variables and behaviors that are hard to predict than with plant or animal species that can be very predictable.

With humans you can’t use them as a test subject, so you have to use other things we can test on to be able to figure out what we want to do.

You need different morals with human subjects compared to plants and insects. Humans also may act differently when they are being observed.

You have to use different approach's and codes of conduct with human subjects, because you can make them uncomfortable, as well as they have rights, and can't just do certain experiments on them as you'd do in the natural sciences.
