Considering it took us roughly 100,000 years to go from Tier 7 to Tier 3 (26th century), that must mean that the human race appeared roughly 200,000 years ago in order for us to have reached Tier 3 in the past. Does this hold up with our real-world current knowledge of human pre-history? Basically, was there enough time to become space-faring?--[[Image:PENGUIN4.gif|15px]]''[[User:FluffyEmoPenguin|<span style="color:black; font-family:Verdana">Fluffy</span><span style="color:gray; font-family:Verdana">Emo</span><span style="color:black; font-family:Verdana">Penguin</span>]]<sup><small>([[User talk:FluffyEmoPenguin|<span style="color:gray">ice quack!</span>]])''</small></sup> 17:11, 2 January 2011 (EST)

:I don't think the humans that ventured out into the galaxy would be recognisable as such today, at least not physically. The first Homo species diverge from Australopithecus around 2.4 or 2.3 million years ago, and [[Wikipedia:Archaic Homo sapiens|archaic Homo ''sapiens'']] appear between 400,000 and 250,000 years ago. Modern Homo ''sapiens'' has come a long way, but has done so sporadically - short bursts of advancement and occasional relapses back into barbarity, ie; the Dark Ages following the fall of the Roman Empire. I think the timeframe we have available leaves ''plenty'' of room for ancient humans to have built up a small interstellar empire. -- [[User:Specops306|<b><font color=indigo>Specops306</font></b>]] [[w:c:halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>Qur'a 'Morhek</sup></font></i></u>]] 17:38, 2 January 2011 (EST)

Concept Art Human Ships

Does anyone else notice that some of the human ship designs in the concept art were repurposed for Forerunner ships in the terminals particularly Terminal 2 and 6. Compare them and you see it.

== "Ancient humans" ==

The [https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/species/humans Waypoint Universe] encyclopedia conclusively identifies the humanity of this era as being referred to as "ancient humans" (as in, not just a descriptor). Not the most original or specific name they could've come up with, but it's something. Should we call this page "ancient human" (in line with the title of the [[Human]] page, focusing on the species in particular) or "ancient humanity" (which I prefer)? --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 10:47, 10 November 2014 (EST)

==Forthencho head quote==
{{Quote|Once, we were one great '''race''', united in power and '''concerted in our goals'''.|Forthencho reminiscing humanity's age of flourish}}

What is the context of it? Was he implying that prehistoric humanity was ethnically homogeneous, in contrast to modern day humanity, or that, compared to modern day humanity, prehistoric humanity had no inner strife spawned by things like religion, nationality, ethnicity, sexuality, etc.? Am I looking to far into this? Just curious. (I haven't read any of the books.) [[User:Noddy|Noddy]] ([[User talk:Noddy|talk]]) 16:05, 23 January 2015 (EST)

:The quoted statement is in response to Chakas' musing about humanity's weakened and divided state c. 100,000 BCE. The context suggests he's using "race" in a very general sense (ie. "the human race"). While it makes for a nice article quote, Forthencho's claim is also acknowledged to be a gross idealization of the truth, as noted by Chakas in the very next line: ''"But I saw quickly enough that this was not precisely true, and soon realized that what the Lord of Admirals believed and what he knew were at times quite separate matters. Even alive, it seemed, the original mind that had lived these ancient histories had shared the contradictions I was all too familiar with in myself and in my fellows, back on Erde-Tyrene and here on the great wheel."'' This is later elaborated on when the internal strife within the ancient human government comes to light.

:It should be noted, however, that there's been a bit of a back-and-forth on part of 343i and Greg Bear on whether the ancient humans were one species. The Waypoint article seems to suggest they were, and there's a single mention in ''Cryptum'' that the humans were "shattered into many forms" after their defeat, but then we also have references throughout the Forerunner Saga that at least some of the different human species existed before the "devolution" imposed by the Forerunners (the Didact asked the [[Florian]]s to be preserved after the war, though it's also noted that they didn't serve in the ancient humans' fleets—while humanity as a whole may have been more varied, it seems that the bulk of the military was made up of the ''übermenschen'' described in the Waypoint article and depicted in the ''Halo 4'' terminals). Regardless, a far bit of internal ethnic variation seems likely, given how the humans are stated to have formed separate populations on numerous worlds over hundreds of thousands of years. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 10:12, 25 January 2015 (EST)

==Human skin tones==

It states in the article that some human kin tones were gray or dark green. They don't look those colors to me but to be fair it's hard to tell in the terminal with the lighting on the ship bridge. Is that proven that these skin tones are accurate?  --[[User:Forthencho|Forthencho]] ([[User talk:Forthencho|talk]]) 23:07, 29 January 2015 (EST)
:I think it's fairly logical to assume their skins are various shades of brown and it's just the bridge's lighting that might make them look green or gray to some. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 00:33, 30 January 2015 (EST)
:Yeah true, but I  don't if we should remove the bit about the skin tones from the article unless we get comfirmation on them. I mean I can't tell what skin tone the human who tells LOA that they're in position over the forerunner planet is while the other guy looks tanned or even fair but again I can't tell. While ancient humans having gray or other non-real-life skin tones would further reinforce a potential genetic link with te forerunners(who's skin tones we're told range from pink to blue to gray. On the other hand, green to gray skin tones seems to weird for them to have, I mean why don't their devolved escendents have them then. And I don't know if prolonged stay on other planets however unique would effect skin tones in that way as I'm no biological expert or physicist.--[[User:Forthencho|Forthencho]] ([[User talk:Forthencho|talk]]) 12:53, 30 January 2015 (EST)
