History
Pre-Neviran period
Archaeological and genetic evidence suggests that humans first inhabited Kaiyyo around 36,000 to 39,000 years ago. These humans were descendants of the first waves of human migration out of Ekuosia. These first inhabitants were likely nomadic hunter-gatherer groups, however little is known of the cultural or linguistic identity as they were replaced by later migrations.
Around 4,500 BCE, Lahiri-speaking pastoralists migrated across the Sea of Lahan from Puzimm.
