I love the question .... there are many many examples of how relevant history and social contexts have been (quantum physics, idea that Prion proteins can infect you, discovery of adult stem cells) ;there is a human history to science ...science is a revision of this history rather than quest for truth independent of it's history and social context (Francisco Varela), a network of human conversations (Humberto Maturana). The historical and social context is never removed (Thomas Kuhn on Paradigm Shifts) ... examples apply to each discovery scenario ... eg. the discovery about the new organ (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-23062-6) ; is this really a discovery or just a new way of talking about a structure we always knew was there (the third space)?
