I can not even tell you how unlikely it is for two separate races to have highly similar DNA. The didact himself things they were both created by the precursors which we will find out 1/3/2012 (we are going to die next year).
They de-evolved us because they finally had a "reason" to get rid of the competition. If they were so "noble" they would have found out why there most "hated enemy" is acting odd and irrational, not to mention out of 3 million worlds they could have given a few systems to the humans.
Well, they were probably both influenced/created by the Precursors. I also think one of the lines of thought was that humans were precursors before willingly devolving themselves (I can't recall if that was a definitive thing in Cryptum, or just an idea.)
I think the implication that they were "brothers" is wrong though. That makes me think they were the same species and then one faction decided to alter their genetics while the other didn't. I believe Humans and Forerunners were two distinct races; probably similar in many respects and made by the same creator, but distinct.

Game Knowledge:
-Data Pads have connection to Forerunner Trilogy
-Killing all BOB's, Accessing all Data Pads, and some other strenuous tasks award you with EOD's GRD or "BOB" attatchment
-No one has GRD Helmet
-Halo: Combat Evolved Remake coming Nov.15
-Halo 4 coming Holiday 2012
Book Knowledge:
-Forerunners are -blam!-s
-They deevolved Humanity because we are there brothers that separated and did not mutate ourselves and because we had a Fledgling Empire with the San-Shyuum
-Chakas in Halo: Cryptum is somehow related to Master Chief.
Thanks for the information, though I think the brother thing is probably a mistake.
Where did the information on an EOD "BOB" helmet come from? I'm curious to read more about it if you have a source.

It seems the data pads will have a link to the forerunner trilogy.
The synopsis for Halo: Primordium (book 2) seems to imply that Chakas was disembodied somehow and the books takes place from his viewpoint. He is telling his story to "the last true reclaimer" which seems to imply master chief; greg bear hinted that the spartan-IIs are all genetically related to chakas and/or riser. Point being, chakas is alive is some way shape or form (turned into an AI?) in 2553 or whenever, it seems.
Reading the data pads it appears there is a human/organic voice at the beginning of each one. This is followed by the discussions of a whole bunch of AIs, guiding humanity. It would make sense that the human voice is Chakas.
Anyways, everything seems to be strongly linked to the events of the forerunner trilogy, including Halo 4-6.
As for the bobs, no one knows.
Oh, that's neat. It's nice to know the data pads are going to be expounded on. I did read Cryptum, but that was back in January. That's an interesting plot synopsis for book two though.
I would have to go back through the data pads and look at that through the lens of it being Chakas. That's an interesting notion, but my first response isn't in agreement.
