I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

The Forerunners were an Ancient race, they created the Halo Array, the Ark, and the Shield Worlds. And died out after activating Halo to stop the Flood.

The Humans are Reclaimers to the Forerunner legacy, and are possibly descendants of the Forerunner race (Although ancient African humans were there to watch the Forerunners build the Ark teleporter, so it is also possible surviving Forerunners bred with Humanity to create the Humans we know today.)

Why is Captain Kirk climbing the mountain?

If you read Halo: Contact Harvest all this is explained, Humans are Forerunner descendants, that's the whole reason the covenant start the war with the humans because if the covenant populas knew that the forerunners still existed they wouldn't bother going on the great journey, so the Prophet of Truth condemns all humans to death.

Like I said, the only problem with making it that simple is that African humans did watch in wonder as the Forerunner built the teleporter to the Ark, so they did exist separately at some point. I am pretty sure the ones with Genetic imprints Halsey was looking for (The ones that became Spartan IIs) are more closely related genetically to their Forerunner Forefathers than others. (Noting they are all pale white skinned makes me wonder if that is part of the Forerunner gene pool, this is backed up by a common belief that Aryans came to Earth from Space millions of years ago, in real life, and many real life myths are used in the Halo Universe.)

They are pale and white skinned from spending most of their life in their armor.

Also, we will learn more when the Forerunner trilogy comes out
