The humans used to have a galactic empire that rivaled the Forerunners in every aspect, including technology. Ancient Man unfortunately came across a highly primitive strain of the Flood (albeit still extremely dangerous) and, while sacrificing a third of their population, managed to hold it off. This would appear to be a primitive, lack-of-Gravemind, "space zombie" virus kind of Flood.
But as the Flood (as we called it, eventually giving it the name) pushed us off of our worlds, we were forced into Forerunner territory. Now, I would wager the humans and Forerunners generally ignored each other for each others' sake (they didn't really like each other from the get go, but thats another story), so the Forerunners found this sudden rapid movement into their territory as an act of war.
So we were fighting two wars: the Flood and the Forerunners, who countered us swiftly. After years of harsh fighting--and truly impressive resilliance on the human side--we lost against the Forerunners, they obliterated our culture (think: the babysitter ruins) and de-evolved us back to the stone age on earth, so we have no knowledge of the event.

Master Chief confronting his destiny in Halo 4 might be something about those ancient Humans.
I hope so.
The Precursors, The Humans, the Forerunnser and
The Flood.
The top three races I feel was the intended order for the inheritors of the Mantle. I believe now, since the Foreunners' arrogance changed all that, they will thusly have to bestow the Mantle upon us--specifically the Chief, who may be the first in line of "mutated" humans like the Forerunners--to absolve them their sins. The 4th race, the Flood, is their punishment.
Until then, the Gravemind/Prisoner will forever remain a monument to all of their sins.
I think it is safe to say that the Precursors will start to make a more obvious appearance now.
No doubt the Precursors will be more important,they are the only known species in Halo who might have the power to destroy the universe.
Or they could be enemies of the Precursors
Or their creations
Or the timeless one
...
Oh boy so many possibilities
If a Precursor is the main villain, it'd be just that: a, singular, Precursor. The rest of them are gone, likely on the Great Journey, and as a race they seemed far too benevolent to be an evil race. The Prisoner seems to be the only one who would be a worthy villain. And again if those

...leaks, were real, then the Flood is in fact the primary enemy, further supporting the already 95% likelyhood the Prisoner is the Graveminde.
