Millions of years before the rise of the Forerunners, an advanced civilization known as the Precursors controlled the galaxy. Having reached the pinnacle of technological advancement, they were believed to have affected the evolution of life in the galaxy, even created the species known as Forerunners, but later they would be [[Forerunner-Precursor War|wiped out by the Forerunners]] millions of years before the emergence of the Flood.<ref name="cryptum">'''[[Halo: Cryptum]]'''</ref> | Millions of years before the rise of the Forerunners, an advanced civilization known as the Precursors controlled the galaxy.

Approximately [[150,000 BCE]], having mastered interstellar travel, humanity, still composed of many species, arose from their homeworld Earth, known as "Erde-Tyrene" at the time. They began to move [[Prehistoric human civilization|their civilization]] along the [[Orion Arm]] of the Milky Way galaxy, to escape Forerunner control. They [[Human-San 'Shyuum alliance|allied]] with the [[San 'Shyuum]] species, forming a prosperous interstellar empire based on the planet [[Charum Hakkor]]. Later, the humans stumbled upon starships of unknown origin near the edge of the galaxy. These vessels contained fine powder that proved to have supposedly beneficial psychotropic effects on animals, such as the [[Pheru]], favored by humans as pets.

However, over the following centuries, the use of the powder began to mutate the Pheru, spawning irregular protrusions and growths and eventually altering their behavior.<ref name="cryptum"/> | ||
Eventually, humans and San 'Shyuum became infected by the disease, actually an early stage of [[Flood]] infestation. Hundreds of systems were lost to the parasite in [[Human-Flood war|a conflict]] between the humans and the Flood. Meanwhile, humanity's aggressive expansion and the perceived violations of the [[Mantle]] prompted the Forerunners to take action and begin [[Human-Forerunner War|a war]] against humanity.

Despite being forced to fight a two-front war against the Flood and the Forerunners, humanity eventually drove the Flood out of the galaxy. However, the Forerunners eventually emerged victorious over humanity after defeating their last stronghold on Charum Hakkor.<ref name="cryptum"/> | ||
Following the war in approximately [[109,000 BCE]], the Forerunners dismantled humanity's civilization, regressing them into a Tier 7 species. The remaining humans exiled to their homeworld Earth, where a Forerunner [[Lifeshaper]], the [[Librarian]] established a research station. In the following millennia, the Librarian would tend to the humans, eventually allowing their civilization to begin developing anew.<ref name="cryptum"/> | Following the war in approximately [[109,000 BCE]], the Forerunners dismantled humanity's civilization, regressing them into a Tier 7 species.
