The Forerunner were Human
This one seems to be the most straightforward, and sensible. GS himself gives it away, if it can be given away, with his comment, "All our lost time! Human history is it?," and "Stop acting human!" (this, when you try to shoot him) The apparent timeline is that the Halo has been activated at least once before, thus wiping the entire galaxy of all life (apart from that which is on the Halo itself). Assuming at least one prior activation of the Halo(s), the idea is that Humans had reached a far greater degree of technological advancement, had created the Halo system (whether in response to the Flood or for some other purpose - this is left for another discussion ;)), and had been annihilated or scattered somewhere far from Earth.

I belief (like many others) that the Humans are the Forerunner. To me this is very obvious. I mean from the comments that 343 Guilty Spark makes, I gathered that he believes the Humans and the Forerunner are one in the same. An obvious one was when he said; "I would conjecture that the other species currently on the installation is responsible for releasing the Flood. They seem most persistent in their attempts to access restricted areas." I am assuming that by the other species he means the Covenant (they were the first to release the flood). Another is when he said; "You can't imagine how exciting this is! To have a record of all of our lost time! Human history, is it? Fascinating." This is implying that Human history is the piece of the timeline lost after the Halos were used. How do I know the Halos were used before? From yet another quote "Last time, you asked me, if it was my choice, would I do it? Having considerable time to ponder your query, my answer has not changed." Considering that he still wants you to activate Halo's defences you can say that his original answer was "yes."
