Also, my personal opinions/ideas about the origins of the Tyranids are that:

A) The original tyrnaids were subjected to conditions that caused them to need to be able to evolve/adapt rapidly in order to survive. The hivemind could have been a much more intelligent tyranid that evolved to have a greater mental capacity than the other Tyranids int something similar to the original Zerg overmind in Starcraft, basically a giant brain.

B) The hivemind could have influenced the tyranid's evolution to cause them to become what they are now, a sort of slave/army race with no will other than the hive mind's own. (Sort of similar to Amon and the Zerg from Starcraft)

However im not sure where the tyranid Norn-Queens fit into all of this. A and B are two different ideas by the way, they aren't supposed to have anything to do with eachother
