Best Answer
A:The Canaanites were a semitic people and part of the North-western Semitic subgroup. For clarity, scholars often prefer to call the people Western Semites, rather than Canaanites. Scholars now say that the Israelites were themselves Canaanites, despite a later tradition that they were outside invaders.
