Saying this without evidence, and it's just a thought, but I still wonder...

It's been said, that Dust simply "appeared" more or less, and also that people don't know where the Grimm came from exactly. Not to mention many things haven't been truly explained yet, and I doubt we get answers for their origins anytime soon. So, what if Aliens visited Remnant and conducted some experiments on the planet before it all began?

-The Dust was made by the Aliens by combining different kinds of cristals with different kinds of energy and elements. They then inserted the Dust on Remnant, and were later found by the habitants.

-They conducted experiments on the animals, turning them into Grimm, greatly extending their lifespan and making them more dangerous. They then spread throughout the planet, while also eliminating the non-Grimm animals. Their "Only targets humans and faunus despite not being necesary" stuff could have also been part of the experiments.

-People originally didn't have auras or semblances. The Aliens abducted some humans, and through experiments allowed them to manifest aura and get special abilities, a different one for each test subject. They then erased their memories and returned them to the planet. Thanks to those, they survived while many normal humans died, and spread throughout Remnant, some not aware of their abilities, to the point everyone is capable of using aura and semblance. Like the Asari in Mass Effect.

-The many different kinds of semblances can be explained easily: Some are hereditary, others are a result of a mix of the 2 parent's semblances, and constant mixing of them lead to new semblances appearing.

-The faunus didn't exist originally. The Aliens abducted other humans, mixed their DNA with animals species that were still alive (Or maybe the remaining non-Grimmified animal genes of the Grimm), and returned them to Remnant. They spread. Every faunus having night vision is the result of diferent kinds of faunus mixing thanks to the power of genetics.

-The Grimm evaporating when captured or dying is a secondary effect from the Aliens' experiments, probably done on purpose.

So...what do you guys think?
