Right, so after the humans lost the humo-forunno war they were devolved by their masters.

I'm assuming all knowledge was removed, the planet was set back, and the humans were... see that's the problem.

The fores would have had to genetically modify humans to make them hairy, if they weren't.
And if they went through such trouble to genetically modify humans, I don't understand why they let humans live in the first place. Or, they would have had to wipe human memories, right? Everyone would try to entice a rebellion and build back infrastructure, wouldn't they? (Well, after a few considerable Millennium.)

I always found it odd that cryptum and primordium had all those different types of humans and yet the forerunners only seem to have indexed and reseeded one type.

Maybe the forerunners where breeding different types trying to find genes with Resistance to the flood? In an attempt to figure out how the humans where able modify a third of their population to kill off the flood?

No, all variants of humanity were re-seeded. -blam!- floresiensis (Riser's people) are theorised to have lived as recently as 12,000 years ago on Hawaii, until -blam!- sapiens rowed over from America and killed them all. A few accounts cite people having seen 'little people' in such places as early as a couple of hundred years ago, before we even knew of -blam!- florisiensis via found bones a few decades ago. In lots of aboriginal island cultures (Hawaii, Indonesia, etc) there are reports of these cunning little people, so for all we know pockets survive even today, hiding away.

The reason it's only us here is because we're intolerating nobs. Even people in the same sub-species are hated on for differences like skin colour or country of birth.

Flores Man didn't live on Hawaii and people from America didn't row over and kill them lol. They lived, as their name says, on the island of Flores.

As for mythical little people, I don't think they are related to -blam!- floresiensis. So many cultures from around the world have mischievous little people running around, even in places where a real small hominid lived.

As far as human evolution in general in the Halo universe goes, it's frustrating to someone actually in school for biological anthropology because it seems so silly to think that all the other species of humans were created because of some silly "devolution" concept.

Glory and fame, blood is our name!
Souls full of thunder, hearts of steel!
Killers of men, a warrior's friend!
Sworn to avenge our fallen brothers!
Sons of the gods, today we shall die.
Open Valhalla's door!
Let the battle begin, with swords in the wind! Hail Gods of War!

If there's one ting I hate about the "ancient advanced Humanity" thing 343 introduced, it's that it completely slaps real life evolution in the face.

"Florians" might have, but Flores Man did not.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."
