It's a giant cock with a human skull on the front and skin over the eyes and another cock with teeth on it telescoping out of the mouth so it can facefuck things. That's a pretty cool evolutionary advantage right there.

The xenomorphs don't mate with each other and the adult form with the long head doesn't mate at all.

This has become a catch all for any animal physical characteristic that doesn't have an easy explanation. MUST BE TO GET THEIR BITCHES HOT.

>bullshit armchair science estimated in-universe reason
harmless side effect of a parasite combining with a radically different organism. they aren't going to perfect unless they're custom tailored for human hosts which they aren't. it's amazing they even develop and function in the first place.
Joshua Barnes
It was created by an intelligent design not by evolution.
Joshua Reed

Xenos can breath in space. It was never told if is just for a small or long amount of time, but in my headcanon, the tubes on the back and the long head had something to do with the breathing system.
