This civilization encountered the [[Flood]] in approximately [[110,000 BCE]] and, after discovering the parasite's true nature, went to war against it. After losing many planets, humanity desperately invaded a minor sector of the Forerunners' domain. After forty thousand years of expansion, the collective human genus waged [[Human-Forerunner War|war]] with the biologically similar Forerunner species. Eventually, they developed a cure against the Flood, winning the [[Human-Flood War]].

Forced to start again, the collective human genera tried in vain to reattain their former glory, with some human communities establishing wooden cities and steam-powered waterborne vessels under the instructions of the [[the Librarian]].
