The article notes that [[Joseph Staten]] and was placed on administrative leave during a period of Halo 3's development, and meanwhile wrote the book [[Contact Harvest]] which included information that humans are forerunners. The article then claims "''Staten was therefore not privy to what was going on with the decisions made for the terminals, explaining his novel's contradiction with Bungie's new stance that humans and Forerunners were separate species.''". But as explained above; "Bungie" did not have a "new stance" wholesale, and Terminal forerunners were also early humans. | The article notes that [[Joseph Staten]] and was placed on administrative leave during a period of Halo 3's development, and meanwhile wrote the book [[Contact Harvest]] which included information that humans are forerunners.
