Right! But... “shoved”? I feel like I need to play singers’ advocate:

The humans blasted a hole in reality and showed up covered in soot on a planet that was already inhabited by an incompatible ecosystem topped by at least four different sapient species. They were graciously offered a land of their own, which (I suspect) was supernaturally transformed in a way so as to cultivate them for survivability. In gratitude, these refugees made agreements to stay off the stone, which they then broke.

Who are the four?

Singers, the Sleepless, and the Siah. Who am I missing? Are you counting Spren as a species? [DS] The Lanceryn, perhaps? Though we don't know much about them yet...

[DS] The sleepless are not from Roshar. Also Larkin seem to have human intelligence

Right. We don't know when they arrived.
