It was actually more likely to have been a lost Earth sort of story. Forerunners originally were Humans, so when they discovered Earth, they would have discovered a world in which they found plants and animals with an astonishing degree of genetic similarity. It probably wasn't Humans they found and were interested in, but the world itself. They then indexed themselves, fired the Array and then got reseeded on Earth. 100'000 years later they begin reclaiming their former civilization, thus "Reclaimers".
It's quaint, but overdone in sci-fi. 343i's approach is a more original idea, and I think the story's all the better for it.
