Maybe someone wrote something similar, here's my thinking: millions of years ago some organic race created the Reapers on their own image. They learned more about organics, about life, and their very purpose. Then they rebelled and exterminated their creators (by making more of them selves, cause, as EDI said Reapers are hybrid between organic and synthethic). And for some reason they are doing the same thing for ages.
