As punishment for defying the Forerunners, the Forerunners' [[Ecumene Council|Old Council]] decreed that the humans be stripped of all technology and be forced to undergo an artificially-induced process of biological devolution: within a relatively short span of time, live humans had millions of years of their evolution reversed, soon leading to them losing body mass and, eventually, intelligence as well.<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''page 42''</ref> This process was reluctantly overseen by the Forerunner [[Lifeshaper]], the [[Librarian]], acting under orders of the Old Council. While many Forerunners in positions of power wanted to see humanity wiped out, the Librarian spoke out in their defense, viewing them as special and potentially worthy of inheriting the Forerunners' [[Mantle|Mantle of Responsibility]].<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 77''</ref> | As punishment for defying the Forerunners, the Forerunners' [[Ecumene Council|Old Council]] decreed that the humans be stripped of all technology and be forced to undergo an artificially-induced process of biological devolution: within a relatively short span of time, live humans had millions of years of their evolution reversed, soon leading to them losing body mass and, eventually, intelligence as well.<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''page 42''</ref> This process was reluctantly overseen by the Forerunner [[Lifeshaper]], the [[Librarian]], acting under orders of the Old Council.

Humanity was one of many species indexed and preserved by the [[Librarian]] during the [[Lifeworker]]s' [[Conservation Measure]], the effort to catalog and index all life in the [[ecumene]] for repopulation in the event the [[Halo Array]] was fired. With a primary population of specimens held at the [[greater Ark]], [[Tudejsa|another population]] of hundreds of thousands of humans of over 120 different varieties was ferried from Earth to [[Installation 07]], where they were later exploited by [[Faber]], the [[Master Builder]], in a series of experiments on the [[Flood]].<ref name="p188">'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 188''</ref> | Humanity was one of many species indexed and preserved by the [[Librarian]] during the [[Lifeworker]]s' [[Conservation Measure]], the effort to catalog and index all life in the [[ecumene]] for repopulation in the event the [[Halo Array]] was fired.
