Reminds you of something? Yep, but what this actually means? It means that in evolutionary terms, Greys are more superior than humans. Possessing eyes that large would make them able to see objects miles away with no blur on the image processed by the brain, and also give them the ability see the tiniest particles around them, spoting mosquitoes was never a problem to them.
The Brain on the Greys wouldn’t make sense if included an arthropod morphology on it, because they would be completely dumb. A larger brain doesn’t mean more intelligence on any animal. But instead more functions for the body to do. What this means? Like the increased eyes, it would mean that every part of the grey body is way more complex an advanced than our own, possessing much more functionalities and capabilities. So in order to the body to be able to do those functions it would require a bigger brain.
This process was observed when the animals started to evolve. A nervous system turned animals to become more complex. Thanks to a nervous system animals like the sea star are able to walk, worms are able to feel pain and escape from danger and allowed humans became humans.
The brain size like I said wouldn’t necessarily mean that the Greys would be smarter. The brain is the equivalent of the processor of our brain, the bigger and more powerful more complex functions the computer is able to do. This is no different from the human brain, which possess many dedicated brain areas just to do many of these functions: Dreaming, motion capture, organs information, center of motion etc . etc
Anyway, their brains are bigger; in consequence they are probably smarter. I would say they are smart as humans, since they never proven really to have a genius level intellect to win easily on dialogues against people.
We can't really know how that even works. They don't have genitalia like most of animals. Even worms have visible genintals. So my bet is that they similar to serpulids in that manner. That we knos is that they posses the alternace of generation, making possible to have a genetic variability, otherwise they would be doomed to extinction just like bananas are today.
By giving away gamets trough an invisible structure, just like the serpulids, to other Grey (this would make them to have femeales and males) they could generate a zygote which would later become another Grey of any sex.

I decided to make this thread yesterday after watching a Science vídeo on vision of human eyes I saw some interesting info on how eyes actually worked. That info also gave me an idea not only how humans could have better vision but how the so famous alien Grey vision worked. Let’ not take longer:
SummarY: If you are lazy to read, The greys in terms of evolutionary process, are much more complex and better than humans.

Amazing. We're not even able to conclude if there are indeed aliens visiting Earth and here you guys are and discuss their physiology...
I heard the fairies wings are made from spider silk. That's because their actually quarter spider, quarter butterfly and half elves...
My analysis of "The Greys" takes the opposite approach. I start by assuming they actually exist and go through a series of analysis to determine the type of world it would have evolved on, why they would look as they are alleged to look and where we should be looking for their planet. (Spoiler: It's unlikely not Zeta Reticuli, The Pleiades or Sirius).
Stay tuned for a much more skeptically minded but also in depth look at "The Greys" which runs often counter to this analysis though the general premise is the same. I used solid science in mine as well.

The eyes
The eyes on an animal first appeared on the Nemathelminthes, as a form of capting the refraction of light trough special designed photosynthetic cells called rods. If the aliens possess Eyes this means that the place where they come from possess a star very simillar to Earth. Not necessarily a bright star trough.
The eyes work by capting light on the rentina and sending the information torugh the brain. Whomever the eyes work just like a camera. The more potent camera the better you can actually see. We can see this on the athropods . But why booth have bigger eyes. Well, it'`s really simple, to detect food. Insects need bigger eyes to hunt and protect themselfs. There's a number of reasons to so, one of them is because during their growth they are vunerable.
This makes sense with the Grey aliens, they seem to be very fragile.
Some insects evolved to possess thousands more rod cells than humans do. That caused their eyes to grow larger, in a human being, rod cells like of an insect would look something like this:

That comes with consequences trough. The ability of a brain/computer to make more functions and complex ones would increase a lot the chances of some problem happening, you can observe that on nowdays computers, how many times you had problems with some program not running properly?. Therefore, Grey organs are more suggestive to have problems. It’s a shame we don’t have their technology.
Anyway, their brains are bigger; in consequence they are probably smarter. I would say they are smart as humans, since they never proven really to have a genius level intellect to win easily on dialogues against people.
Reproduction
We can't really know how that even works. They don't have genintalia like most of animals. Even worms have visible genintals. So my bet is that they similar to serpulids in that manner.

What about the other body parts? Outside the arms, lex and torax, we can'`t really know how the rest of their body worked.

And why is that? Is there something you know about those zones?
