In Response To: Re: Stuff I'd like to see answered: (ElusiveEagle519)


: I'll preface by saying that I too would like a concrete answer. Now, the
: following is my understanding at this point (take it as you will, I could
: be wrong): My interpretation is that humanity is the inheritors of all the
: Forerunner left behind. In that sense, we aren't genetically equivalent to
: the Forerunner, but they chose us (out of all the other species in the
: galaxy) to inherit their legacy. Armed with the Mantle and during the time
: when the Conservation Measure was in effect (just prior to the Forerunner
: disappearance), they settled on our species as their successor. While not
: all the details are known, it appears that the Forerunner took a liking to
: the Human species when they were surveying the uninfected planets for life
: to save. Humans have many physical similarities to the Forerunner

Yes, I think that their knees bent the same way that ours do.

: , as well as showed an aptitude that the Forerunner looked highly at.

It can't have been their flair for high tech. The highest tech that humans had at that time would have been the pointy stick.

Maybe the Luminaries showed that we had pretty auras.
