    To be fair, discovering a dead species is not the same as discovering a live one. For example, assume that T-Rex had not been discovered yet. The likelihood that it was alive would be astronomically low; it’s just too big for us to reasonably assume we’ve missed it walking around in the world. But the likelihood that we haven’t found the animal because it’s dead and buried is a waaaaaaay different thing.

    The crawlers didn't know human scent since they've never had an encounter with them before.
    Also they had been crawling around in dirty caves for hours, so their scent could have been

    They smelt like the caves.

    You forgot that we only see the younger active crawlers that are near the surface and ever go out to hunt on the surface world. With thousands of miles of caves deeper than we saw there could be tribes of them in much higher number the deeper you go with different food sources including cannibalism.

    Fun fact; there's a scene early on when the girls are in caves, but the crawlers aren't known yet, and you can see a figure in the background. That was a mistake and a infact it was just someone from the crew who accidentally went into frame, but the director left it in because a) it will give the viewer a bit more of a "oh crap. They're in danger" feeling before the characters. And 2) which is more of a theory; the viewer won't be as blindsided by the crawlers as normal. Which I love

      It actually is just able to have symbiotic relationships with certain species harvester ants.

      The thing of "40 year long generations" may be true for humans like me, but considering the state these guys would be in, those "40 year long generations" would be more like "10 years" at best. Humans haven't had the "40 years generation" thing for that long. Honestly, I am fairly certain 2k years ago, we still had 20 year generations.

      I looked it up and basically they live with ants in their mounds and that’s about all we know so far. It’s a big deal though because I guess ants are really picky about who they let into their mounds

    One thing I noticed not mentioned is that yes individually your points are correct. The evolution changes to seeing and hearing. How they would get enough food to survive. However as you mentioned the loss of sight is caused by isolation and living entirely in caves. But if to survive they would have to frequently leave the cave then they aren't that isolated. Meaning they would evolve to the point were they have absolutely no sight. Even if they only went out at night at best they would have reduced vision but not necessarily lose all of it. Long story short your point individually are correct and fascinating but when put together they cross each other out. Still love this theory just noticed this wasn't mentioned.
