The identity of the first humans to make their homes on Saint Kennera and Pribraltar is controversial. Occidental anthropologists, citing Ockham's razor and common sense, maintain that the first humans on the islands were likely tribes related to the modern Montagnardi people. Coscivian anthropologists, citing hard physical evidence in the form of stone artifacts showing commonalities with those of the migratory, pre-Coscivian [[Prehistory_of_Great_Kirav#First_Humans_-_Ice_Bridges_from_Demomap|Demomap Culture]], maintain that the islands were first populated by distant relatives of modern Kiravians. It is the latter theory that enjoys official sanction and is taught in the islands' schools. | The identity of the first humans to make their homes on Saint Kennera and Pribraltar is controversial.
