When you think of biology, you probably think of pristine labs and scientists in their little lab coats delicately putting mystery goo under microscopes and going "Hm, fascinating." I'm here to tell you that science's biggest breakthroughs were almost never that clean.

The exact origin of Xenomorphs stays as messy as they leave their prey, BUT the Engineers deserve most of the blame for this cosmic oopsie.
