The human race.
Generally speaking, the Lebanese are descendant from the Ancient Phoenicians - some would consider part of the line of Javan or Greece today. Their appearance is commonly white skinned with light hair & eyes and have high check bones. They are not commonly considered part of the Arab peoples though a large part of the Lebanese community is Arab genetically.
Today, Lebanon has a wide variety of ethnicities living there. As noted above, the majority have Phoenician ancestry. A recent study lead by Greece concluded the following demographically: Lebanese Phoenicians/Canaanites make 50-70 % of the Lebanese people with the second largest ethnic group being those of Arab descent - 20-25%. The next largest grouping are the Syriac-Arameans ( West Aramaic ) 5-10 % . Greeks , Armenians , Hebrews , Assyrians , Kurds , Persians and other ethnic groups form the rest of the Lebanese community 10-15 % .
The Lebanese, from their earliest beginnings ( estimated by some to be circa 10,000 B.C. or earlier ) until the year 636 A.D, spoke the Phoenician language - the oldest language in the world . After the Arabs invaded in 636 AD, they enforced the Arabic language.

Lebanese people themselves are divided into 2 major ethnic groups. 1- Whites or Caucasians , these are mostly Christian Lebanese that did not mix with the Arab invaders of Lebanon. Christian Lebanese are from Phoenician/Aramaic ancestry mostly found in Mount Lebanon, they mixed extensively with crusaders and other west Europeans. 2- Arabian/Turkish/African ancestry, those are mostly Muslim Lebanese.
