The Guanches were the ancient dwellers of the
island of Tenerife, since way before the
Spanish conquest. Due to the extension of the
islands the other inhabitants of the Canary
Islands are also named so.
The Guanches are described as tall men and
women with heights between 1m 75 cm. and 1m
82 cm., well developed, with huge, thick
bones, which indicates that they were very
strong, many of them had blue eyes and blond
hair. The first descriptions of the ancient
dwellers of Tenerife appear in the charts of
Niccolosso da Recco (1341).
The name Guanche comes from a Spanish
deformation of the language spoken on the
island by the ancient people, which was an
archaic phase of the modern day Berber. The
island's natives referred to themselves with
the words " Wa n Chinet" which meant "the man
of Chinet ", Chinet being the name of the
island in their tongue. Today that language
is called Guanche and is also applied to the
dwellers of the island of Tenerife.
The Guanches were of Berber origin and they
arrived between the V century B.C. and the
beginning of the Christian Era. Due to the
fact that there are no archaeological
findings of the existence of some kind of sea
craft, nor any knowledge of navigational
skills, it is supposed that they were brought
in successive waves by Phoenician sailors
with commercial aims and later abandoned on
the island until the XV century.
Their origin seems to be from more than one
Berber tribe, they brought with them their
domestic animals such as goats, sheep, pigs
and dogs, as well as wheat, peas and barley,
each one adding to the group of dwellers
that, with a common origin, gave way to
different cultural layers.
