I've removed the bit about Yoruba.
What happens when disbelievers try thinking? Sparks? It has escaped Cynthia, well I doubt it was there there in the first place to be honest but anyway, that EVERYONE ALIVE ON THE EARTH is still here today and will therefore have an unbroken line of decent from earliest peoples.
Then we come to notwahwC4ever. Again I'm removing references to African tribes so here's the later list:

1. Sidon: Located in the South Governorant of Lebanon
2. Jebusites: modern day Syria
3. Amorites: modern day Syria
4. Girgasites: at times they are not listed with the other Canaanite tribes, this is because they left the land of Israel before the Israelites returned from Egypt.
5. Hivites: they are found in Gibeon, Shechem, below Hermon in the land of Mizpah, and in the Lebabon mountains
6. Arkites: Modern Lebanon
7. Sinites: possibly the people from the northern part of Lebanon
8. Arvadites: inhabited an island city that is now Syria
9. Zemarites: they inhabited Zemar, a city near the coast of present day Syria
10. Hamathites: They inhabited the kingdom of Hamath located in what is now Western Syria and Northern Lebanon.

NEHEMIAH 9 . KJV . look up
7 Thou art the LORD the God, who didst choose Abram, and broughtest him forth out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gavest him the name of Abraham;
8 And foundest his heart faithful before thee, and madest a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Jebusites, and the Girgashites, to give it, I say , to his seed, and hast performed thy words; for thou art righteous:
When people ignore what God says there are always consequences. The Israelites frequently made idols and as a result were ejected from the land God promised them. When they returned to doing what He said they returned there. At the time of His promise the nations were listed. Let's compare God's list with the one posted.
DEUTERONOMY 7 . KJV . look up
1 When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou;
2 And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them:
As we saw in Nehemiah God's promise was fulfilled and in Deuteronomy we can see what the promise was and how it was to be effected. Utter destruction. That means they became extinct.
Sidon
Jebusites UTTER DESTRUCTION
Amorites UTTER DESTRUCTION
Girgasites UTTER DESTRUCTION
Hivites UTTER DESTRUCTION
Arkites
Sinites
Arvadites
Zemarites
Hamathites

JOSHUA 3 . KJV . look up
9 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come hither, and hear the words of the LORD your God.
10 And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites.
We have seen how God promised
without fail to drive out those peoples and how His promise was fulfilled. Those peoples no longer exist. They are extinct. These are ex-peoples.
Five others remain unaddressed. That's six altogether:
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Sidon is a city, not a nation. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Sidon
Arkites
Sinites
Arvadites
Zemarites
Hamathites
So I have no idea why they were on the list. The reason being because The Bible doesn't mention them. One might as well have included Spratly Islanders or alpha-Centaurians for all the relevance they'd have. And that's what I mean. Do these posters think before posting? Are there sparks? We know how rarely they read The Bible but sometimes I wonder if they ever think at all.
