[Alien] If xenomorphs inherit traits from their hosts, what, if anything, do they get from humans that other hosts don’t give them?

Nothing in particular. The traits they inherit are just for adaptation to the prey's environment and appropriate size for hunting them. If it's grabbing a human host it wouldn't make a sense for the resulting Xenomorph to be the size of a rat or an elephant when it wouldn't be able to hunt more humans effectively. The other adaptations are more minimal but regarding how it's senses are tuned for different atmospheres and light levels. Overall the xenomorphs Rea only concern themselves with how big or small they need to be or if their prey is adjusted for living in extreme conditions. Eventually these traits are shed as more pure xenomorphs are molted out of the younger ones that don't hunt as much.
