Modern Faneria was first inhabited by hunter-gatherer societies reliant on late mammoth and deer herds during the {{Wp|Paleolithic}} era, and is believed to have first been populated by groups following migratory patterns of mammoths north prior to the extinction of those prey. Several of these cultures left behind cave art, stone spearheads, and other materials, most notably the {{Wp|Neanderthals|Boreli}} culture, an Neanderthal genogroup extant from 1. | Modern Faneria was first inhabited by hunter-gatherer societies reliant on late mammoth and deer herds during the {{Wp|Paleolithic}} era, and is believed to have first been populated by groups following migratory patterns of mammoths north prior to the extinction of those prey. Several of these cultures left behind cave art, stone spearheads, and other materials, most notably the {{Wp|Neanderthals|Boreli}} culture, an Neanderthal genogroup extant from 1.27-0.73 million years BC, and the [[Packer Culture]], a group of tribes who were the first to process kelps and algae mats that grow natively in the [[Vandarch Sea]] into storable foods as evidenced by primitive stone presses similar to pestles, many of which are carved into standing rocks and were until the 1840s mistaken as pagan religious sites. | ||
The first permanent settlements in modern Faneria were colonies established by the [[Fenni]], a {{Wp|Neolithic}} pre-levantosarpedonic people who originally followed the coastlines around Levantia and settled along the freshwater coast of the [[Vandarch Sea]] c. 6000-5000 BC. The Fenni were long thought to have been an early Celtic offshoot, but recent archeology has definitively proven that the Fenni were their own people group, diverging into tribes around northern Levantia from unclear stock, possibly a mix of [[Coscivian]] and proto-[[Finnic]] peoples fleeing other migratory groups. Some of the oldest Fenni remains discovered preserved in bogs and marshes additionally bore at least marginal common ancestry with [[Audonia|Audonian]] [[Tatrgr]] peoples, suggesting the Fenni may have been composed of several groups which intermixed early into the first settlement of the region they came to inhabit, though the causes behind this remain unclear. The Fenni also brought pottery and bowmaking to the region, and either absorbed or destroyed the entirety of the peoples already present in the Vandarch Basin, with remaining tribes existing in peripheral regions for indeterminate periods of time. | The first permanent settlements in modern Faneria were colonies established by the [[Fenni]], a {{Wp|Neolithic}} pre-levantosarpedonic people who originally followed the coastlines around Levantia and settled along the freshwater coast of the [[Vandarch Sea]] c. 6000-5000 BC.
