$\begingroup$ Both sex and taking care of their young seems to work well for animals, guided by instinct alone. And maybe the aliens' children are more self-reliant than humans'. I agree that a long time between cause and effect could be problematic, but I rather imagine that the earliest humans ran into similar issues (mass poisoning, disease). $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ @Llewellyn, animals are also playful and experimental, things that appear to have been taken from this species, especially the experimental aspect. Throw a couple of human teenagers together and they'll work things out in most cases, this species, strictly according to the description, won't. $\endgroup$
