Halo CE......(sigh) the good ol' days......

The Halos were actually last activated a little over a hundred million years ago...
Humanity has been around about 2 million years or so. Maybe a little longer than that...
I doubt that we were "out of reach" or "shielded" from the blast.
And I seriously doubt EVERY SINGLE RACE encorporated INTO the Covenant was either out of range or protected from it. Whatever was before them, was destroyed with the rest of life. The entire GALAXY was purged.
The Galaxy is a big place, and the fact that we've got only a FEW races living in it, pretty accurately displays the amount of life we'd probably find in the galaxy.
The Covenant just had a HUGE headstart when they discovered Forerunnger tech on their planets.. as well as the Engineers they use. They're immitative, not intelligent or more advanced. They only use what was left behind.
umm sorry man the halos were activated about 100,000 years ago
