| Re: Forerunners as semi-humans | |

In Response To: Re: Citation please (Vincent) One thing I noticed on Origins. Cortana never, ever refers to the Forerunners as a "race" or "species," but only as a "civilization." If she had said that the Forerunners were a species that lived X years ago, that would have pretty much established the idea that Forerunners =/= humans. But, she doesn't say that. And everything she does say is addressed to John, which makes some of her statements a bit more interesting. I'm starting to believe the whole theory that the Precursors took some early humans and accelerated their evolution. I'd guess that the Forerunners existed in their own civilization for perhaps 20,000 years. Give or take. Humans wouldn't have evolved too much over that time period, so it fits in. Unless there is some info in the terminals that suggests they were around longer?
