{{wp|African Pygmies}} | It's estimated that the first settlements of {{wp|African Pygmies|pygmies}} in present-day Kandara were settled around 12,000 BCE. These settlements were primarily in the interior of the Arumami River Plains. Some 5,000 years ago, the area was not so semi-arid and the vegetation might have been closer to a {{wp|savanna|savanna woodland}}. However, desertification set in around 2500 BCE, and the desert became much like it is today. This desertification pushed the {{wp|African Pygmies|pygmy}} people into the mountain regions by 2000 BCE. The interior had become mostly uninhabited by 1500 BCE, and the mountains had become the primary areas of both settlement and cultivation of crops. There were still bands of {{wp|African Pygmies|pygmy}} nomads in the desert coastal plain but not nearly to the same extent that there had been two or 3,000 years prior. Coastal settlements became more and more settled as the cultivation of grains and the raising of goats and sheep in small semi-arid pockets became more sustainable for the larger populations around 40 BCE, by non-{{wp|African Pygmies|pygmy}} Kana people. | ||

In the southern part of the present-day Kandara the expansion of the [[Arunid Empire]], starting in 183 BCE, through [[832]] CE, spread the concepts of monotheism to the Kana people. The trade routes of the empire made the small settlements larger and the meager salt cultivation that the Kana engaged in became a critical resource of the [[Arunid Empire]], and the Kana population boomed. In the northern mountainous regions the tribes who have left the coasts began to create unique cultures and customs that would become the ethnic groups that make up Kandara today. They mined precious gems and gold that they traded with the [[Arunid Empire|Arunid Kanas]] but the harshness of the desert made it impossible for the empire to expand further. sdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfereofneovnselgnserg | |||
