Many people believe that the forerunners are the Humans,
but i am here to give you a different side of the story.

I believe that the forerunners were a sub species of humans (mabeye a human/elite half breed ((EWW)))

These human sub species aka forerunners would have been much more inteligent then there caveman brothers, much like how atlantis was lightyears ahead of the rest of the world in technology.
The forerunners would have mastered space travel before the normal humans mastered the toilet,

back to the theory:
the forerunners sharing the same planet as the humasn felt complelled to leave were they could start there own civilization, while they were building these rings they found a new life form unincounted before (flood) so being naturally curious they took some specimans of these new creatures back to there new home (halo).

After a few years of study they realzied that these flood creatures were dangourous and they couldnt be let loose,
unfortunatly the flood re-produce through spores, so there few samples had become millions, not having enough room on halo 01 hey had to build more halos to contain the flood.


The flood being smart enough to realize that they were under thread started to fight back,
the forerunners built weapons to hold the flood at bay while theycreated a superweapon to stop them once and for all.

After testing this superweapon, they realized it had no effect as the flood they had killed just regenerated, it was then that they realized the only way to stop the flood was to kill there food supply off (e.g. the forerunners).

After building a weapon that could kill all sentient life in the galaxy they decided it would be a bit stupid without a fail safe, so they traveled back to there original planet and built the halo control system aka Ark where they figured there human brothers would be too stupid to activate it,

they returned back to the halos and activated the weapon.



All the forerunners died but back on earth the humans were safe,
because the ark emits a shield that deflects halo's deadly rays away from earth and back into space.


100,000 years later

Master chief was born.....


Well thats my theory and i hope you like it

However interesting your theory is, it still fails to pick up on any of the subtle hints that had been handed to us during the games. Remember, Bungie creates game content first, and then creates book content. So using clues primarily from the games, the most popular theory is that humans are Forerunner.

Remember Guilty Spark in the Pillar of Autumn engine room? "-to have a record of all our lost time!" (since he was built by the forerunner to oversee the Halo installation construction one would assume he is refering to humanity as forerunner).

Quite the interesting theory. I don't think it's all that plausible. None the less, great work on it. You never know though.

I think that the forunners spilt and evolved in two diffrent ways (covenant/Human) and over time there minds changed and they forgot about each other and the and now they are aginst each other and the Master Chief is about to find this out...i think

as interesting as that theory is, im pretty sure i't scores some scoffs as well.

keep in mind that bungie has to tread this path extremely careful. im sick of people who fill up 100 lines of theories from 30 seconds of trailer footage. bungie has to be original, to ensure that the story is gonna make U say: well f^%$ me, i never expected that to happen.

Yep, that's the way most of the evidence points. Go check out the shotgun corridor in Lockout. Check out the walls, particularly the objects that resemble broken capsules. See anything familiar?

The fact that the Ark is found on earth does seem to imply that there is some way for some forms of life to survive the effects of the rings being released. A re-emergence of the Forerunner (as humans), is proof of that.

Well I think that the Forerunner arnet human or covenant at all just a ancient alien race. They developed the rings to study the Flood that they had created. They studied to find a cure for the parasitic virus and made the Flood immune to all Forerunner known vaccines,(which is pretty much everything you could think of becuase there so advanced), so the Flood are pretty much SAVAGES. Thats my theory at least.

Because there not the same. The Forerunner are a different species and are aliens to humans. there not the same things!

Why are humans behind forerunners?

perhaps a major event like halo's activation would sent a race back to the stone age. the technology didn't disappear, but there weren't enough people to teach the next generation how to use it. knowledge must be learned by a teacher, if all the teacher's disappear, any knowledge that would have been taught must now be learned through trial and error. i would suggest reading orsan scott card's "Worthing Saga"

you guys should prolly remember that guilty spark only calls humans reclaimers (chief and amanda). so i would say we are possibly decendants of the forerunners.

theres a lot of things on earth that the writers could use to tie into the story to support the idea of lost knowkledge too (for example stone henge is belived to show great astronomical knowledge so theres nothing to say they won't take it in that direction. though if they were to do this they would prolly make something up so that its older than mankind as we know it.)

2 cents
