QuoteEvolution wouldn't have granted them these genetic traits from the host when they already have a method of reproduction. Why do they need extra methods
Do you even read things you wrote? You are deffending another method of reproduction (totally pointless and stupid) and then useing argumen that it is pointless for aliens to have another one?
QuoteAnother explanation is that, perhaps, the predator and the alien belong to similar classes: reptiles, etc. Therefore, it is easier for the alien to get more traits from the predator than from humans.
I`ve never seen a reptile with condensed accid as blood. And aliens look nothing like creature which could have evolved on its own (they look like weapons of war), when predators are very human like.
This isn't a new method of reproduction, just an addition to it. The egg-barfing method isn't meant to replace the traditional egg-laying method. The egg-barfing method is used while the queen is still juvenile and can move around to hosts more easily. When it fully grows, however, it won't be able to do it anymore. Either becaue it's too big to get to hosts or its eggs are now actual alien eggs and not simply embryos anymore.
I was using reptile as an example. My point is; the aliens and predators could belong to similar kingdoms, phylums, etc.
Btw: Thanks for your support OmegaZilla, it is much appreciated.
