I kind of think of Observation and Science as related. The other species aren't particularly useful for either of those things. Eventually, I will get to the ability to add "installations" to systems - the way you can land now - and one of the observations will be an observatory platform, which will allow you to get a bonus to your observations. However, that bonus will be in the form of a multiplier as it is the new perspective which is useful to you, not the inhabitants of that system. :)
