People or animals that live in a particular place, like city dwellers or cave dwellers.
From Old English 'dwellan' (to go astray, delay, remain). The suffix '-er' indicates one who performs the action. Used since medieval times to describe inhabitants.
The term 'cave dwellers' became a way to describe early humans, but most of our ancient ancestors actually lived in open areas—caves were just more likely to preserve their remains!
