This is simply what I think, Don't get mad if you believe differently.
~EVIDENCE PROVIDED~
========================
The Human Forerunner Theory
========================
I believe that early human beings are the forerunner. As stated by 343 "Once the other follow suit this galaxy will be quite devoid of life.", "Why do you hesitate to do what you've already done", "Last time you asked me, If it were my choice, what would I do,Having had conisiderable time to ponder your query, My answer remains". Therefore a human being has been to Halo before, Could have possibly been the forerunner. But since they activated halo, They were whipped out, meaning no forerunner were left, nothing was left. So once again we evolved from prokarytics. And now the humans have sustained the technology the travel through space, and have discovered there former self. But have no record of there former technological boundries, so they think that the forerunner are aliens. But also we need to look at the definition for "Forerunner" "Forerunner -(fôr-run'ẽr) noun - 1. a person sent befroe or going before to announce or prepare the way for another or for something to follow; herald 2. a sign that tells or warns of something to follow; prognostic. 3 a) a predecessor. b) an ancestor" So Now we see that a forerunner doesn't mean that they MADE the place, just that they were there before you. So the forerunner infact were humans to humans! but to an elite it would be the first elite to reach halo. So the forerunner are merely a varible. Now go play halo and replace forerunner with Halo. So I guess humans have been to Halo before. Now we need to figure out why cortona says "You have no idea how this ring works, do you? Why the forerunners built it? " Well we have established that Forerunner means the ones before,and that humans have been to Halo before, So we have two(2) possiblities, Either the humans ARE the forerunner, or She is simply stating that anyone before the Cheif is considered Forerunner, Which means that to the Humans who landed on halo before the chief, the forerunner to THEM built it.
=============

Thanks for reading if you read it all.

1- when spark said "why would you hesitate to do what you have already done" I believe he was referring to his hesitence in killing the flood and the covenant. By not activating the ringworld, spark missunderstood MC's intentions.

2- the Forerunner built Halo over one hundred thousand years ago. Which means by that time they were already an advanced race, 100,000 years ago humans were still primates!

Thanks Jester, You just sorta helped me out a little, Notice I put that the Forerunners activated the ring a long time ago, thus whipping humans (The forerunner) out and we had to start over, from our primitive form. Good Job Jester.

Yeah, heard all this before. Nothing new, it appears on this forum about once or twice every week; along with "Possible Theory to What Halo is For".

By the way, we only call "The Forerunners" that name because we don't know their real name. We only know they came before us (or did they!?!). They wouldn't call themselves "The Forerunners" because its basically saying that they would be overthrown or wiped out; mainly because "Fore" means "before". It would basically be saying that they are doomed.

I like the idea of Humans=Forerunner, but I also like the idea of "The Forerunners" been a completely different race.

PS. I only use the word "Forerunners" to describe the race because everyone knows who I'm talking about. I couldn't come out with a name like "Aleichinisk" (made up by the way) and say its the Forerunner name because for one we don't know their real name and secondly no-one would know what I'm on about.

It's be cool if we found out that the forerunners are simply the ancestors of all life in the universe and that covies are our long-distant and lost genetic cousins. Hence the glaring biological similarities, on paper they arent very different from us humans, they're bipeds just like us. All of them. I'd think that was less cheap than just humans being forerunners, that seems cheesey.

It seems forerunners are god-like, god gives life, made us. perhaps forerunners are the same, creating life in the halo universe, that could be why there is forerunner tech on all of the main covie homeworlds and (apparently) earth, cos forerunners once existed there which triggered life on those worlds.

just wish i knew why fred and john knew how to work covie and forerunner technology without understanding it....
