No, we are not descendents of the Forerunners, but we are the inheritors of their Mantle.
All is explained in Halo: Cryptum. Well, not all, but a lot.
Last time i checked we don't know what the mantle is, and after cryptum who knows what the original philosophy of the precursors really was.
That being said people shouldn't go around talking about this "mantle" since there isn't any data on it.
The impression I got from the Terminals, Cryptum and the Encyclopedia was that the Mantle is a Forerunner ideology/religion derived from Precursors which made them stewards, cultivators and protectors of life in the galaxy.
And after seeing how forerunners really are in cryptum who is to say they didn't create that ideology in order to justify what they were doing?
I firmly believe that until we actually have knowledge about this "mantle' people should go around saying " we the forerunners wouldn't/did do this and this because of the mantle!" when they don't even know what it is.
The true idea of the mantle might have been twisted and distorted over time.And we all know history is written by the winners and if the forerunners beat the precursors then they wrote that arbitrary mantle.
