Are humans and Forerunners two separate species with DNA spliced from inheritors by the precursors way way before the human - forerunner war?
HaloFollower made a video about it and i couldn’t make out if he was saying it was from books or if he was theorising
PLUS i always take his stuff with a pinch of salt, but either way it would be cool if inheritors WERE originally the true Mantle bearers but precursors changed that to see how other things would play out. It would also make sense why they look so similar if they ever did make this canon (if its not canon already)
please lemme know.
FINALLY a thread that isn’t “omg taek owt sprent and ADS”
I never really though of that. The precursors and everything. But that would be cool to see some story elements that relate to the precursors
There is no species called Inheritors. A common ancestor is…possible. But to be honest the Brutes look as related to us as forerunners do, forerunners are just slightly prettier.

I’m on of those actually really excited for ALL the new abilities especially ground pound and smart scope 
But yeah, this theory though could really be expanded upon relating the humans and forerunners even further.

So not canon at all? cool concept though.
(first of all it is not canon and i wouldn’t expect it to become canon) the humans and forerunners are both precursor creations this theory of the inheritors is blown out of proportion mistaking them as a race when inheritor is a title to the civilization that holds the mantle of responsibility as the caretaker of the galaxy their is also no knowledge or evidence of a civilization that precedes the precursors as the meaning of the word precursor literally is “a person or thing that precedes”. the precursors were a tier 0 the highest know advanced technological civilization in the halo universe way beyond the forerunners their technology is based on neural physics they can theoretically advance and accelerate evolution they are in a sense trans-sentient almost like a godlike civilization so it would make sense that forerunners and humans are similar seeing they were both created by the precursor they would have created them in their image. halo relates a lot more to religion and mythology then people actually realize its really interesting the ark and halo rings save all life from the flood (Noahs Ark). Yeah halofollower has been getting a bit to canon crazy could we say he posts videos sometimes based on what people tell him and often makes mistakes in canon like i can accept a theory as long as its backed by hard evidence with halofollower his evidence for theories is more theories.

Humans and Forerunners share the same creators, which are the Precursors. Humans are the true inheritors of the Mantle, much to the Forerunners’ dismay, who ended up committing genocide against their creators and claimed the Mantle for themselves. That is canon, taken directly from the books. Inheritors are not a separate entity, though. Humans ARE the inheritors.

Yeah this i know, but in the video i watched suggested that way way before all that originally it was just one race called inheritors, that then the precursors decided to splice the dan of the race and create two races separately, humans and forerunners, and then from there we have the halo universe we know.
Either way i thought it was cool to ponder

I found your problem OP. HaloFollower is a bad source of information on these forums. He steals bits and pieces of information from other people and calls it his own ideas.
Bottom line, don’t believe a word his videos say.

Did you read anything else i put? I know that he comes up with a lot of yoink, but this is me asking is it theory or not as he never mentioned if it was canon or theory.
he never claimed it to be canon, and he referenced halo archive for some ideas so. Don’t hate to hard despite his newer videos being pointless he still makes good points at times.
No, I would say that is an unsubstantiated theory with nothing more than grasping at straws with some smart sounding ideas to make a mess of a concept. Someone mentioned the idea of a common ancestor to humans and Forerunners, which may have happened…but I lean towards a common ancestor for all species. All living species are related to humans in a varying degree, some more than others of course. Chimps, bears, dogs, trees (yes trees) share some common DNA. Every living thing in the galaxy could have been crafted from a universal mold by the Precursors in theory.

I understand that applys to us in the real world, but is evolution even in halo? like i asked this before in another thread and no one answerd but precursors made us straight up human, and then forerunners reverted us to cavemen so were we ever evolving in halo? i just don’t know.
Either way i like the Splice theory, it fills a big gap for before humans and forerunners. would make a cool spinoff game too.
Once again, there is no such thing as Inheritors. Humans and Forerunners have always only been two separate species, competing with each other for the Mantle. They were never the same race, they were never split apart, and they certainly didn’t have different titles back then. It is likely that you either interpreted the video wrong, or he simply didn’t have his information straight, as usual. That is all.

I doubt they made humans anatomically modern straight off the bat. There are billions of undocumented years and the Halo’s made an absolute mess of the fossil record. I mean, if order for humans to have been de-evolved, that would implied they had evolved at some point. Even the Forerunners the Librarian encountered at Path Kethona were different than the ones currently in the galaxy. I also doubt it would make for a spin-off game since there isn’t much that can be done with it.

no, i realise it has always been that way, and i interpreted his video as a theory, i just think its a cool concept.
I always knew that the forerunners and humans were separate, but i wanted to know if the “inheritors” were ever mentioned canonically besides a spartan rank on reach.
Go watch the video for your self and just give it a chance instead of just assuming everything halo follower puts out its copied or what ever.
Its actually a decent concept.

not to mention its actually an article on HaloArchive

The whole theory comes basically from how humans and forerunners look alike, how bungie originally were gonna make forerunners “ancient humans” and this from chapter 33 of the Primordium“
Was there some sense of satisfaction at this melding of so many Forerunners and humans? Some triumphal revisiting of an ancient plan, long ago frustrated, then abandoned, but now possible once more? Could Forerunners and humans be recombined and reverse their shivering asunder so many millions of years before? When the Primordial and the last of its kind decided on a larger, wider strategy, a greater plan that would no doubt bring about immense pain, but also a greater unity of all things."
p.s, you’re all so narrow minded and haven’t even bothered offering much towards the concept apart from trying to shoot it down, just cause you know canon you feel the need to correct everything wrong on the forums, well guess what friends its called fan fiction. and for all your know it could come into play.

I’m not assuming that everything HaloFollower puts out, is copied. I’m assuming that it lacks basic research. Which, the majority of the time, it does. I’m fully aware of the video that you are talking about. It was done in collaboration with the Archive to; firstly, make his information and speculation more reliable, and secondly, to promote the Archive’s image. And while its a greatly written, and thought out theory, it changes nothing.
You asked if Inheritors were canon. The answer is ‘no’. My thoughts on the theory itself, is that it seems rather pointless to go through great lengths to separate Humans and Forerunners, only to go back, and try to connect them together, again.
