I mean, if the prothereans were aware of the earliest forms of life on Earth, that might mean the prothereans were aware of life on other systems as well.

Humanity may not have been ripe for the picking at that time, but I'm sure they are kicking themselves for it now.

I believe one of the Reaper's requirements needs the species to be spacefaring and utilizing the Relay network.

The Reapers only harvest advanced spacefaring civilizations. I doubt Earth even registered on their radar.

Why would they? Having played ME and ME2, it's clear that humans are not the first race to defy the Reapers; It's not like the derelict Reaper seen in ME2 was blown to pieces by accident.

Humans hadn't proven themselves as worthy being to be used in Reaper creation. The Asari, Salarian, Turians, and Quarians alll failed to meet the Reaper's requirments to be used so humans had to develop more to see if they were worth using. Its implied that the beings that are used affect the Reaper that is made so they want to make sure who they are made out of is worthy.

Short answer: We have no idea. The Reapers goals are enigmatic at best and apparently beyond our comprehension, since Sovereign wouldn't tell us why all the Reapers are such doo-doo heads.

[Paul Sedgmore]

The simple answer is that humans were far too primitive back then as as Soverign said they the want the races of the to advance down the paths the reapers desired.

Humanity wasnt at the stage where we would fully appreciate their trolling.

But what of our ancestor's rock based technology? Wouldn't that interest them?!

The Reapers use the relay network to find the civilizations. If a civilization hasn't hooked up to the relay network, the Reapers can't find them. Simple as that.

Humanity wasn't developed enough

The Charon Relay was covered in ice. Namely, Charon. It may not have been usable again until humans discovered it.

Otherwise, it's mostly the level of development, like any of the other races that are culled.

[Slimsa]

If they wiped out primitive sapient life when they wiped out galactic life, they would set the cycle back quite far. I doubt even Earth in 1900 or 2000 registered on their radar.

Except we know that the protheans used the Sol Mass Relay as they were studying humanity so the Reapers would have been aware of Earth and the primitive culture that lived on it as they use records from the CItadel to acurately get information on the races at the time.

Thanks, it was starting to bother me how nobody brought that up.

I'm still curious whether that was intended by the Protheans or not...

[jackkel dragon]

Just wait, we'll find out that the Protheans and/or their war with the Reapers had something to do with icing Charon over.

We still don't know why the relay was covered in ice, we do know that it was in use by the Protheans sometime before the Reaper invasion. Plus we have absolutely no evidence that the relay being covered in ice would stop the relay from being usable.

Just don't forget the MIlky Way has billions of stars, which means Reapers will harvesting forever, unless there is a mechanism. I believe any Civ use any of Mass Relay, than they accidentally added themselves in Reapers black list!
I believe Human haven't been advanced and their number couldn't sustain building a Reaper.

A conveniently located freezing beam installation, one that can only be activated by a Prothean mind, sounds like the sort of deus ex we can expect.

People always say that "Humans weren't wiped out because a requirement of being wiped out is being capable of spaceflight." Now, I don't doubt this because it makes sense. But where does it say this in the first two games? It might just be some dialogue I missed or forgot but where is it?

1. we were primitive
2. The relay may have been unused
3. we were too primitive
