********************** SPOILERS, BIG TIME *********************
Ancient humans went to war with flood and nearly eradicated them, but had to sacrifice 1/3 of their total population in the process. The Forerunners realized that the Ancient Humans were weakened (didn't know it was the flood or even know what the flood was at this point) used the opportunity to defeat and devolve the Ancient Human race (believed humans were too violent and too dangerous to continue) and scatter the human subspecies's to different worlds. The Ancient Human's technology rivaled that of the Forerunners before the devolving. After 300 years flood came back and toppled the Forerunners, realizing this is what the Ancient Humans were at war with before the Human v Forerunner war, they came to the conclusion that they had made a mistake in devolving the Human race. After this I'm a bit fuzzy but for some reason the Forerunners decided to name the Human race their successors. (that's why only humans can activate dormant forerunner tech, and "Reclaimer"/ Gravemind - sins of father = Ancient Humans almost wiping flood from existence.) woooaaa - (takes a breath)
Just to clarify the humans started stepping into forerunner regions of the galaxy and took a few of their worlds in order to get away from the flood and survive. Forerunner mistook it as an invasion (as anyone would) and taught humanity a lesson. Just wanted to point out that forerunner didnt just attack for no reason other then the suspicion of a war hungry race (which they were).
