I'm sorry if this teory has already been stated on these forums before but I have been reading the books and playing the games and I cam across something interesting. The location to Halo instillation 04 was figured out by Hunters doing a particle reading of some sort on a earth stone. Guilty Spark 343 spoke perfect english when he met the humans without prior knowledge about them. Guilty Spark 343 recognizes the Master Chief quickly as a forerunner himself. Finally, only humans are ever seen touching the key to Halo's destructive power.

This dictates to me that the forerunners were human and that not all were destroyed when the Halo's were all activated thousands of years ago. Like, a large transport of Forerunners did not want to die to starve the Flood so they did their calculations and figured that Earth was a safe settlement. The Halo's were activated and the ship was damaged and crash landed on Earth, leaving a few to survive but have no technology and start again. Either this is true and will be a huge twist in the Halo universe(oops!) or I just have an over active imagination.

I dont think that is a pretty bad answer to what race the forerunners were. That really does fit. I hope that is true or everything could just be a coincedance.
