There is no extant CANAANITE people at all other than jews. The fact that there were people in the land of Canaan before Abraham ----the chieftain of a community that developed in Canaan arrived there from Mesopotamia is a mildly interesting factoid but not germane to any discussion of the demographics of the middle east today-----or even 1000 years ago By 2000 years ago just about the only extant peoples of the land then called PALESTINE---were jews and edomites----Scholars agree that the EDOMITES assimilated into the jewish group---leaving only jews as the EXTANT people of that area as far back as 2000 years ago. In any case EDOMITES are no longer an extant people 20,000 years ago----things were different and the romans are all descended from REMUS AND ROMMULUS who were the bastard children of wild wolves As to the Philistines that modern islamo nazi sophists claim as the origin of todays people who in the past 50 years decided to call themselves "palestinians" They have not been extant for more than 2500 years
