Who are the people who occupied Canaan before Abraham?

The Canaanites occupied Canaan before Abraham (Gen. ch.12). They were descendants of Noah through his son Ham (Gen. ch.10), although Noah had actually bequeathed the land to the descendants of Shem (Rashi commentary, Gen.12:6). Thus, the Canaanites were usurpers.


Were Canaanites descendants of Cain?

No, not according to tradition. Noah's family were the only ones to survive the Flood, and they were descendants of Seth, not Cain. However, tradition states that Noah's wife was a Cainide.The Canaanites were from one of Noah's sons, Ham (Genesis ch.10), who also fathered the Egyptians and many other nations.More information:The Torah speaks of three branches of post-Flood mankind: Yefet (Jafeth), Ham, and Shem (the three sons of Noah; Genesis ch.10).The children of Yefet are (broadly speaking) the Europeans (Caucasians).The children of Ham include the ancient Egyptians, Canaanites, Nubians, Bantu (and sub-Saharan Africans in general), and many others.The children of Shem include the ancient Assyrians, Elamites, Arameans, Lyddians, and other Semitic peoples. One group of Semites gave rise to the Arabs, Hebrews, Moabites, Ammonites, Edumeans and others.
