Were humans hairy before they were devolved by the forerunners?

Right, so after the humans lost the humo-forunno war they were devolved by their masters. I'm assuming all knowledge was removed, the planet was set back, and the humans were... see that's the problem. The fores would have had to genetically modify humans to make them hairy, if they weren't. And if they went through such trouble to genetically modify humans, I don't understand why they let humans live in the first place. Or, they would have had to wipe human memories, right? Everyone would try to entice a rebellion and build back infrastructure, wouldn't they? (Well, after a few considerable Millennium.)

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] shadowkiller2 I always found it odd that cryptum and primordium had all those different types of humans and yet the forerunners only seem to have indexed and reseeded one type.[/quote] No, all variants of humanity were re-seeded. -blam!- floresiensis (Riser's people) are theorised to have lived as recently as 12,000 years ago on Hawaii, until -blam!- sapiens rowed over from America and killed them all. A few accounts cite people having seen 'little people' in such places as early as a couple of hundred years ago, before we even knew of -blam!- florisiensis via found bones a few decades ago. In lots of aboriginal island cultures (Hawaii, Indonesia, etc) there are reports of these cunning little people, so for all we know pockets survive even today, hiding away. The reason it's only us here is because we're intolerating nobs. Even people in the same sub-species are hated on for differences like skin colour or country of birth.
