How do you know for sure that humanity ( albeit an older civilization) didn't create (the first generation of ) the reapers, you are saying yourself that the information is not available as of yet, so there's no definite answer to that question
.
Um, might have something to do with the fact that humans didn't exist 37 million years ago, much less however much earlier than that it was when the first Reapers rolled off the production line.
I have explained the theory I had on page 4:
http://social.biowar...index/8200228/4In short:
It could be that humanity doesn't stem from earth, but from another system ( much like the quarians are being driven out by the Geth) , created the reapers, got narrowly beaten by them and ran away fleeing across the galaxy, but because humanity was diminished in numbers they got extinct leaving an imprint of DNA behind.
At a certain point in time the reapers where destroying the Protheans, and the Protheans found the last "resting place"of humanity and maybe found that we are key to destroying the reapers and engineered our evolution and leaving information for us to find on how to beat the reapers( which can not be obvious in case the reapers might pick it up).
As I said earlier it is not the best theory, but until ME3 arrives it's plausible( much like any other theory out there).
