I've only recently been converted to the idea that humans the descendents of the Forerunners. After starting to think on those lines, I started wondering what the Covenant would do if they had proof of it? They practically worship them, anyway.

1) Maybe they already know, and somehow it's the unexplained reason they hate humans so much (as opposed to assimilating us, like all the other alien races they meet.) I can imagine the prophets seeing humans as a threat to their spiritual dominance.

2) Maybe they'd submit to us, but that would just be a really cheap ending, after fighting them for so long everyone wants someone to actually lose

More thoughts anyone? This idea has me excited.
