I'm still wondering, as it was not revealed in the anime version, why the
parasites were sent to Earth? Was there any purpose to it?

What was the purpose of sending the parasites to Earth?


This may not be the real purpose (and as Gao Weiwei commented, there will be
more hints), but Hirokawa (the leader of the cabal and mayor of the neighbor
town) states during a meeting (in which Reiko Tamura was present at the time,
but did not object) that Parasytes were sent to earth as a counter to the
environmental damage humans were doing.

Whether this was the real purpose, or whether Horikawa was mistaken, or
whether he was just pushing some hidden agenda, is unknown.

But the fact that Reiko (the ~~person~~ one that did the most research on
Parasyte's nature) did not object may back that hypothesis.
