Template:Ratings Template:SeeWikipedia Template:New Content The Florians as they were known by the Forerunners, taxonomically referred to as Homo floresiensis, and called Hamanune by contemporary humans themselves, were a species of human native to Earth, specific to the island of Flores in Indonesia, surviving up until around 13,000 B.C.E. and possibly as recently as 12,000 B.C.E., living contemporaneously with "modern" humans, Homo sapiens.[1]

Overview

They possessed more "primitive" characteristics than modern humans, including a reduced mandible, lacking a chin, and a smaller cranial capacity and proportionally smaller brain, though were still intelligent. Their most outstanding feature was their small stature, standing at a little over a metre tall.[2] Florians were remarkably long-lived; Riser was around 200 years old when he met Bornstellar, and he was still "just a youngster" according to Chaka.

Before the activation of the Halo Array, Florians seem to have had extensive contact with other human species, and one, Morning Riser, served as a guide to a young Forerunner looking for Precursor artefacts.[1]
