I thought the forerunners were human ancestors, so wouldn't that make us the forerunnners?Actually not. The Forerunners believed they were inheritors of "The Mantle", or the responsibility to protect and preserve all life, and to rule the galaxy. The Mantle was supposedly handed down by the mysterious Precursors. However they found out that the Precursor had intended this responsibility to be handed down to the Humans, not the Forerunner.
To elaborate on this further, the Precursor's made the Forerunner's but the Forerunner's rose against their creators long before they took up the mantle.
The forerunner's did in some attempts try to save themselves from what you can infer from Cryptum but chances are, they died out either during the Halo array firing, or simply died from the weathering of time.
