Having presumably evolved and achieved civilization on [[Earth]], originally known as "Erda" or "Erde-Tyrene",<ref name="prim237">'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 237-238''</ref> humanity first became a spacefaring civilization at some point prior to [[1,100,000 BCE]]. These early humans settled on numerous worlds along the galactic margin; these regions would be targeted by the [[Flood]]'s initial assault over a million years later.<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''pages 67-68''</ref> Early in their history, long before encountering the [[Forerunner]]s, humanity underwent a series of technological dark ages, which left their populations scattered across many worlds and resulted in the loss of most of their records, including the knowledge of Earth being their potential original homeworld.
