Hmm, there is much debate to this subject.
One thing that contradicts this is something that Guilty Spark says in The Great Journey..
"After exhausting every other strategic option, my creators activated the rings. They, and all additional sentient life in three radii of the galactic center, died ...as planned"
Though not every monitor is permitted to know everything now.. is it?
yea but if EVERY! was wiped out, how did humans and covenant survive?
I'm not going to lie, I can't answer this question without my opinions.
I believe that the Humans may have been.. well some sort of clone.. or hybrid species of the Forerunner? Maybe an experiment. Seeing as they weren't yet alive... the Forerunners might have left them on Earth to evolve and grow shortly before they activated the Halos? Maybe.
The Covenant with their scheming little ways could have been very very far away from the "blast radius" of the Halo's at the time. Again, maybe.
Theres alot of theories and speculation for this.. let it run wild.
