Who lived in Canaan first?

The earliest inhabitants of Canaan are a branch of West Semite, also known as Canaanites.

According to Wikipedia, Canaan is a place name in the Bible, referring to today's Palestine, Israel, Lebanon, Syria and other regions. The earliest inhabitants of Canaan are a branch of West Semite, also known as Canaanites. They speak Semitic and are related to Arabs and Jews. Canaanites are a mixed-race people, which was produced by the intermarriage between natives and oriental immigrants in the Neolithic age. They once established some city-states, such as Phoenicia and Ugarit, engaged in civilized activities such as trade, navigation and writing. The Canaanites were later invaded and ruled by foreign forces such as Egypt, Hebrews (Jews), Assyria, Babylon and Persia, and gradually lost their independence and culture. In the 7th century, Arabs moved in and relied on Islam to assimilate local residents, thus forming Palestinians. From the 7th century to the 20th century, there were Palestinian Arabs living in Canaan. By analyzing the DNA of Canaanite remains, the researchers found that most Lebanese still carry the same gene today. About 90% of Lebanese DNA comes from Canaanites, and a small part comes from the ancestors of immigrants from all over Europe.
