: Timing would be an issue though...has there ever been a definitive date for
: the start of the Forerunner civilization? Is it reasonable that they were
: around 300+ million years ago, when basal sauropsids were on Earth?
I doubt it - but what do I know about their fictional history that far back.
In the last Bear book it said that the primitive Forerunners had 5 fingers on their hands. We know that they tamper with their DNA and there are deep similarities between our genome and theirs. (Whatever that means.)
Are they early humans that the Precursors tampered with, say half a million years ago.
Or did the Precursors monkey around with a more distant ancestor? The Forerunners look platyrrhine.
But even the common ancestor of the old and new world monkeys doesn't go back far enough to have been the meddlers (without time travel).
