You could also look at Richard McElreath's Statistical Rethinking: A Bayesian Course with Examples in R and Stan, a book, software package, and youtube lectures. McElreath is an anthropologist who studies the development of social learning in primates, so naturally he teaches a statistics course for natural and social scientists focused on getting data to answer scientific questions. The first two lectures explain why Bayes and why an anthropologist is teaching statistics.
