Alien: Earth Special Look clip+ new look at the Xenomorph

Screenshots of the Xenomorph attacking a crewmember:

Compared to the 1979 Big Chap, this Xenomorph appears to have six small back tubes and lacks a spinal back horn. This makes me wonder if it is a Xenomorph from a non-human host.

The design cues are definitely different with this Xeno compared to Kane's Son / Big Chap. I concur, it likely could be a Xenomorph born from a non-human host. Thanks for sharing this, I'll get it front paged! Been swamped with a million things lately but with the series coming up I'm going to make time to get more Alien: Earth content out!

I reanalyzed it, there are 4 small back tubes (facepalms), and the shoulder tubes are more round. Matches with the practical suit from months ago. The Xeno's front head looks off to me, and that seems to be a lot of people's complaint, in a way it reminds me of the McFarlane toys Alien 3, Runner alien

It still makes me wonder if is it a xenomorph spawned from a primate

Well technically most xenomorphs we have seen in the ALIEN films were birthed from primates. I'm not sure if the DNA reflex would drastically differ between different primate groups such as lemurs, monkeys, or ape (including humans).

It would be interesting if this xenomorph were to be birthed from a monkey, then at least some of Kenner's xenomorphs will get canonized.

For a refresher, it would be nice to finally have in the film/tv show Xenomorphs spawned from other hosts; an early draft of AVP had a lot of those. A Gorilla Xenomorph would be sick.

People are speculating that the flying thing seen in the Alien: Earth teaser is something like this

I'm all for expanding the lore and exploring different Xenomorph host concoctions but I really hope they don't get carried away and diminish the essence/mystery surrounding the organism itself.
