Humans. Theres a lot of rationale and it makes the most sense. Like 343 Guilty Spark recognizes Master Chief as a reclaimer, talkes about lost history and the fact that humans are the ones that have to Activate the Halos. That would also explain why humans "home" is earth. The Ark would have been the only place that the Forerunners or ancient humans would have been able to survive the flood and the purging blasts from the Halos (obvious Biblical immagery).
Time warp seems a bit unneccessary, why not the Forerunner humans were eradicated by the Halo network all accept the ones in the Ark on Earth.
