Kenya's history spans millions of years, with evidence of human habitation dating back to the Paleolithic era and the discovery of early hominid fossils in the Koobi Fora region. The Bantu expansion reached the area by the 1st millennium AD, and the region experienced interactions with Arabian and Asian traders along its Indian Ocean coast. British colonialism began in the early 20th century, with Kenya becoming a British colony between 1901 and 1960. Kenya achieved independence in 1963 and has since developed into a diverse nation with a rich history, diverse culture, and abundant wildlife.
