Biggest plot hole? Or maybe not

my latter thinking is probably artificially made. but since that's not the focus of the story, it is coexistence and survival. will probably forget this idea lol

Am I right to assume that this question is related to the netflix live action spinoff? That obviously changed things. Like in the anime the parasyte could penetrate the skin and went to the brain inside your body, while in the LA the parasyte could only use the ear.
As for the anime, I don't think they said that they cannot reproduce. If I remember correctly, they even mentioned that eating humans is not necessary for them to survive.

On a more theoretical level, if there's a "mother" (or a factory) that creates these parasytes and the mother dies, then it is pretty clear why they cannot reproduce on their own.
But it's also worth talking about that in the LA, they talked like they were programmed to do things. So it is possible that they were artificially created.

The anime and LA were set in the same universe but different time. In LA izumi already an adult. I assume the Parasyte in LA is the second wave and the anime is the first wave

Help me with my fixation.

Here's the thing: Parasytes came from the unknown, specifically from space (as they were seen falling from the sky, although I could be wrong). It is mentioned that Parasytes cannot reproduce. So, how did something that cannot reproduce come into existence? It's similar to humans; we cannot exist if we cannot reproduce. Let's consider the theory of evolution (Charles Darwin, 1859), which suggests that we evolved from animals. But then, where did the first or second animals come from to start reproducing?

Another theory suggests that life originated near the deep sea, where chemicals and energy could have fueled the necessary chemical reactions for life's evolution. Similarly, Parasytes might have come from another planet that could support life. But how did they multiply if they can't reproduce?

The only thing I can think of is "Protozoans," which usually undergo nuclear division and binary fission, resulting in two identical daughter cells. However, they mentioned that Parasytes can't reproduce, which creates a contradiction.

or I'm just wrong for using science logic.

it could also be a case of bee/ant queen where only 1 per nest/generation is the reproductive and all else are "workers"
