I just find out that my ancestors landed in Madagascar & became 1 of the ancestors for Madagascar people from a famous Indonesian historian.. she made a statement last year.. then I found it's written in newspaper as well.. after I see this video I found several journals as well.. surprising but not too surprise because my ancestor used to trade, go back and forth with Tanah Melayu (now Malaysia) and Islands around them until the Dutch came & prohibit them from doing so.. They are sea people.. they still using the sea as their market until today.. oh yeah, I speak like I'm no longer in Borneo.. that's right.. my ancestors decided to stay in Malaysia..

Madagascar Traditional architecture very similar to Banjar of South Kalimantan/Kalimantan Selatan, bubungan Tinggi Banjar, Bajau-Samah Rumah Bajau Sabah(JKKN Sabah Complex), Rumah Betang Kalimantan Tengah. also East Sumatra Riau and Jambi "Balai Adat", and Malay Peninsular "Balai Besar Alor Setar). but Borneo "South Kalimantan" and Sabah architecture are the closest.
Sir. The missing link in Malagasy, Polynesian connection is in Maluku. East Indonesia. This area was the original breeding ground between austronesians and melanesians. The Maluku people are basically Melanesian in origin but mixing heavily with later influxes of Austronesian dubbed Maluku people the "True Polynesians" of SE Asia. Maluku has been a seafaring nation since beginning of times all our origin myths involve the ocean and navigators - and we invented the outrigger canoe (kora kora - orembai) that was later used to colonize Polynesia. Even the Polynesian mythos about Hawai'ki is believed to be in the Island Seram, where according to Moluccan myth our first humans originated and our tree of life is situated. Might be worth researching that some more. Missing links and all.
Im polynesian from new calédonie and when i was in amsterdam at the coffee shop they took me for a dutch boxer of moluccan origin mika tahitu and in fact it's true there is a resemblance
That's not what I was saying, you are misinterpreting the message. The sources I checked are all reliable academic sources. I said that the data shows some Polynesian DNA. That statement does not exclude or diminish the contribution of Indonesian DNA. And I'm using the term Indonesian here because from what I can tell Austronesian is a very general and loosely defined term.
@@redspiritmask Polynesian DNA is a mixture of Austronesian and Melanesian DNAs as they sail eastward to the Pacific. And they never sail back to South East Asia.
Well I'm not a genetics expert I'm just trying my best here with reading the scientific data that I found. If you'd like to send me an equally academic source to back up your statements than I might read it when I have the time to.
@@Thudothwacker I understand what your saying, but wouldn't you say that any "Polynesian" DNA found west of Polynesia would just be the same DNA of a shared common ancestor?
Isn’t just the same thing? Polynesian are the results of Native Aboriginal and Aeta people mixing with Austronesian people. They came to south East Asia and pacific island 50,000 years earlier than Austronesian people
So from genetic articles, which focuses in Taiwanese Aboriginals, the Taiwanese Aboriginals left their island about 4000 years ago and spread through out the Pacific, making the Polynesian settlements. Of that same Taiwanese Aboriginal people, some went West....into the Phillipines, Indonesia, and Malaysia. Borneo is said to have been one of their settlements. And no one knows why but some of these Borneans decided to venture further west and these are the ones that hit Madagascar. Malay and Pacific Islanders actually have real close genetic relation with each other, so that is why "Polynesian" comes up. It is said that the Polynesian genes can be traced back to those Aboriginal Taiwanese people.
It's been a while since I did this video and the research for it so I can't recall if what you're saying lines up with what I read about this subject. But what you say does certainly sounds plausible. Thank you for your insight. If you want you can link me that article you read. I also have a video about the art of Madagascar that you may enjoy. Most of what I do on this channel is about African art. Although this video gets many views, my video about Madagascar's art does not, I wonder why that is? If you don't mind me asking, what brought you to this video? Did you search for it or did UA-cam recommend it to you?
That's a great question. According to the National Academy of Sciences, a genetic study was done and it was concluded that concluded "The Bantu gene flow represents at least 60% of the genetic background, whereas Austronesian gene flow represents around 30%" So doing the math that means there is 10% that's unknown in their study. They go on to say that this could be from more recent migrations or from an older population. Now, considering that Penn State University recently showed that Africans reached the island 11,000 years ago, and factoring in the fact that Bantu Expansion theory doesn't go back that far, I think we can assume those first African Malagasy were not Bantu. As for which specific culture groups make up the DNA of the Malagasy, I haven't seen a study about that so far. It is probably difficult for scientists to determine the specifics which is why most study's use the broad term of Bantu instead of mentioning specific Bantu cultures.
@@redspiritmask Thanks for the reply that makes a lot of sense . I feel like the only Africans in the region before the Bantu were the shorter type later displaced by the Bantu migration.
I didn't know Asian people arrive in Madagascar. I didn't learn much about Africa in school. But now I'm an adult I'm interested learning about African Nations . Today is my first time learning about Madagascar I want to learn more
@@chrissystewart6268 Alrighty I'll post a link to my other Madagascar video. Also, worth noting I got videos covering Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Ghana and more. Here's the link, ua-cam.com/video/0s29Hbuhmgs/v-deo.html
@chrissystewart6268 May I suggest a book: MEMORIES OF MADAGASCAR AND SLAVERY IN THE BLACK ATLANTIC by Dr. Wendy Wilson Fall, a Black American who discovered much of her family was in fact Malagasy and had research the Malagasy connection to the Americas. She was the first to do such a book and others (like myself) have followed through.
Europeans claim they found the Islands of La Reunion and Mauritius were not peopled. Which is wrong. Some Malagasy tribes and royalty lived there. Evidence of ancient traditions and sacred places are found there about it.
They are of austronesian language and people thet are related to filipinos and Indonesia and micronesia and melanesia and Polynesia the austronesian the lapita people were from the Philippines islands mata eye lima five it is universal to all austronesian people
Your right my mother is ancestery is bit confusing I always asked her and she told me yesterday that her father was mixed cultured her father was mixed person he is part Austronesian and malagasy he is east asian Samoa fiji he was treated wrong by his step kids cause his step kids were Africans they never show respect to him because he was lighter skinned person not just Polynesian and he may been mixed with white but he was just mixed I never got to meet him and his biological kids mixed like him theyre mother is Welsh I wish I could meet my aunts and uncle
Intriguing but I'd lean towards that earlier radiocarbon evidence being either mistaken or from temporary migrants. The most likely to me still seems like it would be Austroneasians travelling from Indonesia to Madagascar, establishing a base, and then quite quickly (less than 50 years) continuing on to the East African coast and thence sparking a large migration from there. I should note that Bantu languages didn't not yet exist in East Africa prior to about 2000 years ago. That the Indian Ocean islands, other than Madagascar, were not settled when all Pacific Islands were would be explained by me as the winds not being favourable towards exploring Eastwards. In the Pacific journeys were made against the wind so that at any point the explorers could turn around and hurry home. In the Indian there is a vast stretch where island hopping isn't possible, so journeys Westward would most likely be one way affairs. Those who made it to Madagascar probably couldn't return (a similar thing might have happened with New Zealand as the Maori quickly lost their ocean-going skills and New Zealand was settled from islands distantly to the East). Without being able to return there would not be any news going back to Indonesia encouraging more exploration. This is for sure a tricky problem to think about though, more data of all types (genetic, linguistic, archaeological) would definitely help!
Thank you for your comment, it was a very interesting read. Although I still agree with what I researched you make some interesting points and also I really appreciate that you are polite. A lot of times when people disagree with my research they get needlessly mean. So I'm very happy that you were polite and that you explain your reasons for disagreeing. I hadn't really thought about the wind direction stuff that you mentioned, that was neat to learn. By the way, I also have a video about the art of Madagascar, if you have time, I'd be curious to hear what you have to say about that video as well.
@@redspiritmask Some extra points, after listening again: radiocarbon dating is error prone, but the people who do it do know this of course so they would take lots of measurements to be sure, however I think you said this was a meta-study which would mean that the person making the claim didn't do the dating themselves. If the animals have Bantu names then almost certainly the Austronesians didn't bring those animals but adopted the Bantu names when the animals arrived from mainland Africa. I don't remember if I checked the wave and wind patterns when I wrote that first comment so I could be barking up the wrong banana tree with that, although, from memory that mystery plane crash had wreckage wash up on the east coast at about that latitude so probably not. It wouldn't surprise me if there was a simultaneous colonisation, Madagascar is a big place, but for the light skin Austronesians to come to dominate the social hierarchy...I find it unlikely they could do that with the Bantu being long established there first. The temporary visit idea is floated, I guess it's possible but I struggle to think of any other piece of uninhabited land of such size that was passed over for settlement.
Yes from what I recall they were not doing the dating themselves, they were looking at a culmination of data that had been collected over the years. And yes I recall in my reading that academics came to that same conclusion about the Bantu peoples bringing the animals with them to the island. Specifically I think that was mentioned in the book I referenced. Well I'm sure there's still more to discover about the story of the settlement of the island and hopefully we'll continue to learn more as scientists continue to do more archeological digs. Here's another possibility, keep in mind the following statement is just my own opinion, perhaps instead of it being a temporary settlement the first initial African settlement may have instead been a very small population from Africa and perhaps that's why the Austronesian language element are more dominate but yeah I'm just making a random guess here. However since the academics do bring up the possibility of temporary settlement, it should be noted that temporary settlements have happened elsewhere in history. An example I can think of is in the ninth century A.D., the Maya abandoned the great city of Tikal, I think the reason is still a mystery but it may have been related to bad weather like droughts. And a similar drought event could maybe have led to early African settlers leaving the island.

That site is confusing ustronesians for polynesians. Austronesians from se asia travelled to plynesia and madagascar. In madahascar they intermixed with bantus, in polynesia they intermixed with melanesians hence current polynesians
@@lawtraf8008 don't spread false information. What is your point to do that. If you don't know the truth better to shut your mouth. Yes indeed indonesian was the first people discovered madagascar.
I still find the trend to assume Bantu as DNA or genetic group but it should be noted that Bantu Language Group that influenced most parts of Africa. Some Bantu speakers are not from West Africa nor related to them DNA wise. I believe that there could be few African in the Island because it’s hard not to, it being very close to African Mainland and Indonesia and India trade plus Chinese that existed for centuries then sparked more migration to the island.

Hawaiians were Black! So were the Indigenous Pacific Islanders! So were the first South, Central and North Americans! Blacks were in the USA and all continents before Asian/Mongoloid Indians and Christopher Columbus, who never made it to North America! Blacks are the Aboriginals and Indigenous Natives of the Americas (North, South, Central), Caribbean Islands, including Hispaniola and the Amazon! Our history has been fabricated by whites and others to steal our lands while lying about our arrival from Africa!!! My family is from good old Virginia USA, and we were here before Columbus and before the Mongolian/Asian Indians, and before the $5 pale Indians! We are the first American family of Virginia... the Powhatan Indian Tribe! Slavery was taught in reverse order! Yes, some Africans/Blacks were brought back here to America from North, Central and South America. Aboriginal Black Indigenous Americans were the original Aztec, Maya, and Olmec Indians! Never forget we populated ALL seven continents first and are Indigenous people of the world! We are now being taught our REAL history that has been hidden from us by the Vatican and others! We are the REAL JEWS and the lost tribes of Israel! #AborigineBlackIndigenousJews
Maybe. Originally this video and my Madagascar art video was all one video but I decided to make them separate videos because it seems like a lot of people have low attention spans but certainly some people do enjoy longer form content.
This so called research by foreign researchers is amazing . Does the claim that the Malagasy are of Indonesian descent continue? This research is now one of them. Two things I offer you are your turn to think. First: The creation of a sentence in Malagasy is as follows: Verbe + Complement + sujet. But in Indonesian it is Sujet + Verbe + complement. Second: The King of Indonesia even told President Zafy Albert that the Malagasy are not Indonesians but descendants of the "gola" and came to Indonesia. The word Gola advises you foreign researchers to know the meaning of the word. . But the ancestors of the ancient Malagasy had a strong kingdom, but it was during this period that he was a captive that caused him to leave his homeland. We, the Sons of the Ancient Nobles and many of the Malagasy people, know our true origin, the Malagasy people. We are sad to see foreign researchers who don’t even know our story but probably do every time they speak.
So may we know where is this Gola you are mentioning on the map, please. Thanks! Is that word "gola" related to the one I am so used to hearing "fahagola"?
OK! The word gola is an ancient Hebrew word and is also referred to today in Malagasy. Gola are an era of reference to the time of captivity. This means that when the sons of Israel were taken captive to Assyrie. Many Assyrian words are also preserved in Malagasy, not just Hebrew as "Salama" which is not sick. "sourit" and "sourat" are the Assyrian words meaning "Route"and "Scriptur"
@@MegaRanjee "fahagola" means "antiquity". At first, I thought about ANGOLA (the country), but "angola" in Malagasy (pronounced, "AAN-GUUL(A)) is a special form of singing (in BaGasy/Kalon' ny Fahiny). Just a tidbit from a scholar who went there and continues to study after 25 years...AND BTW, I AM an Afro-American scholar who has studied BOTH the cultures of Africa and the Indo-Pacific areas..

More recent findings?...Of course history was rewritten by Europeans so they said the Island couldn't have been populated by Africans... Madagascar is directly off the coast of Africa...yet people were still lead to believe ones came from 5 times as far away, as Indonesia & accidentally discovered the island...Sounds like Columbus "discovering America", even though Africans were already here first...Good research tho
Its not accidentally Its just european historians to downgrade about asian african relationship. In many javanese inscriptions such as kaladi-taji inscriptions wrote about sea trade from zenj / jemggi people from east africa to java island in late 9th century. Salam
The island was populated but africans first, don't believe the white man lies. I'm from The Comoros islands located in south East African region between Madagascar and mainland Africa. We and Madagascar have been populated by Bantous first then we had Austronesian people who arrived later. We and Madagascar are basically cousins and have been connected ever since. We are so close to each others that we can literally see each others from our shores. Europeans lied about our and Madagascar history, do not believe anything from them. We know the truth
The Real malagasy came from Indonesia. Then they mixed with Bantu people and another races. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malagasy_people Because the Genes of Asian are more powerfull than African people tend to look more Asian
Madagascar belongs to the African continent and the African continent belongs to the Africans, Indonesians are Asians, Madagascar has always been and will always be African
@@d.d.s.g.l9945 Madagaskar is no more part of Africa because it is seperated from Africa like another Continent. Do you know what Continent and Island mean. A continent is a landscape divided by Ocean. Mauritius was with Madagascar like la Reunion but still it isnt Africa!??? Africa didnt exist before but before that it was Gondwana and Laurasia.
@@Chris-fr3kp Madagascar remains part of the African continent and belongs to the real Africans! Asians and Europeans don't belong to Africa, their lands are in Asia and Europe!
By DNA Trace, yes they come from an island in Indonesia, "Borneo" by study. The name of Madagascar actually european inveted term, Actual name "Malagasikara", refer to the people live in there, Malagasy People. Etymology, the name of Malagasikara, seem derived from Malay & Javan, "Malay Sekar" / "Malaka Sekar" (Malay Flower Bloom, Malaga = Malay/Malacca, Sekar = Blooming Flower). Sekar have many meaning in Indonesian Family language, which can mean "Dry", "Flower", "Blooming", "Sowing Seed", we can assume the meaning as "New Flower to be Bloom". I Assume, When arrive on the Island, They found the island to be Fertile and Wide. They make outpost there to planting several Canoe Plant for their supply in the Futures, and renamed the Island as "New Flower", some people stay, some people are back to homeland. In my region there is a myth, about seafarers wish they came back to an island to harvest what they sow (Menyekar) in there. also, the name of their King back then, Andrianjaka. Andri is common names in indonesia, by malay people. Jaka is common names in indonesia, by java people.
They may name it madagascar as you describe the meaning of new flower bloom but in reality madagascar was the Eden Garden field with whom Adam and Eve came first in the world. It was a garden full of flowers, trees and resources that's why they called it madagascar.
you are right that's why some people of Madagascar never mix with black or other ethnic group in their own country cause they want to keep their identity as people come from Indonesia among of that people from merina group which they rarely mix with black people.

My wife’s great grand mother was the last queen’s cousin. The French have a lot of splaining to do. And the French need to give the islands back. France has no legal basis for their claim. None.
I agree. Despite history books saying that colonialism is a thing of the past, the reality is European powers like France are still causing a lot of problems around the world. Thank you very much for commenting.
Thank you for this knowledge! 🥰
I'm glad you and others appreciate this video. The fact that this has become my most watched video is truly astonishing. 😃
Madagascar Traditional architecture very similar to Banjar of South Kalimantan/Kalimantan Selatan, bubungan Tinggi Banjar, Bajau-Samah Rumah Bajau Sabah(JKKN Sabah Complex), Rumah Betang Kalimantan Tengah. also East Sumatra Riau and Jambi "Balai Adat", and Malay Peninsular "Balai Besar Alor Setar). but Borneo "South Kalimantan" and Sabah architecture are the closest.
Great video. And sorry fro your loss.
Thanks Emmanuel.
Sir. The missing link in Malagasy, Polynesian connection is in Maluku. East Indonesia. This area was the original breeding ground between austronesians and melanesians. The Maluku people are basically Melanesian in origin but mixing heavily with later influxes of Austronesian dubbed Maluku people the "True Polynesians" of SE Asia. Maluku has been a seafaring nation since beginning of times all our origin myths involve the ocean and navigators - and we invented the outrigger canoe (kora kora - orembai) that was later used to colonize Polynesia. Even the Polynesian mythos about Hawai'ki is believed to be in the Island Seram, where according to Moluccan myth our first humans originated and our tree of life is situated. Might be worth researching that some more. Missing links and all.
Very interesting, I'll try to research the Maluku when I can. Thank you for your comment.
Im polynesian from new calédonie and when i was in amsterdam at the coffee shop they took me for a dutch boxer of moluccan origin mika tahitu and in fact it's true there is a resemblance
Austronesians is the root genes not Polynesian. You have to update your sources.
That's not what I was saying, you are misinterpreting the message. The sources I checked are all reliable academic sources. I said that the data shows some Polynesian DNA. That statement does not exclude or diminish the contribution of Indonesian DNA. And I'm using the term Indonesian here because from what I can tell Austronesian is a very general and loosely defined term.
@@redspiritmask Polynesian DNA is a mixture of Austronesian and Melanesian DNAs as they sail eastward to the Pacific. And they never sail back to South East Asia.
Well I'm not a genetics expert I'm just trying my best here with reading the scientific data that I found. If you'd like to send me an equally academic source to back up your statements than I might read it when I have the time to.
@@Thudothwacker I understand what your saying, but wouldn't you say that any "Polynesian" DNA found west of Polynesia would just be the same DNA of a shared common ancestor?
Isn’t just the same thing? Polynesian are the results of Native Aboriginal and Aeta people mixing with Austronesian people.
They came to south East Asia and pacific island 50,000 years earlier than Austronesian people
So from genetic articles, which focuses in Taiwanese Aboriginals, the Taiwanese Aboriginals left their island about 4000 years ago and spread through out the Pacific, making the Polynesian settlements. Of that same Taiwanese Aboriginal people, some went West....into the Phillipines, Indonesia, and Malaysia. Borneo is said to have been one of their settlements. And no one knows why but some of these Borneans decided to venture further west and these are the ones that hit Madagascar. Malay and Pacific Islanders actually have real close genetic relation with each other, so that is why "Polynesian" comes up. It is said that the Polynesian genes can be traced back to those Aboriginal Taiwanese people.
It's been a while since I did this video and the research for it so I can't recall if what you're saying lines up with what I read about this subject. But what you say does certainly sounds plausible. Thank you for your insight. If you want you can link me that article you read. I also have a video about the art of Madagascar that you may enjoy. Most of what I do on this channel is about African art. Although this video gets many views, my video about Madagascar's art does not, I wonder why that is? If you don't mind me asking, what brought you to this video? Did you search for it or did UA-cam recommend it to you?
I was wondering which East African groups contributed to the Malagasy? Was it just East African Bantu tribes?
That's a great question. According to the National Academy of Sciences, a genetic study was done and it was concluded that concluded "The Bantu gene flow represents at least 60% of the genetic background, whereas Austronesian gene flow represents around 30%" So doing the math that means there is 10% that's unknown in their study. They go on to say that this could be from more recent migrations or from an older population. Now, considering that Penn State University recently showed that Africans reached the island 11,000 years ago, and factoring in the fact that Bantu Expansion theory doesn't go back that far, I think we can assume those first African Malagasy were not Bantu.
As for which specific culture groups make up the DNA of the Malagasy, I haven't seen a study about that so far. It is probably difficult for scientists to determine the specifics which is why most study's use the broad term of Bantu instead of mentioning specific Bantu cultures.
@@redspiritmask Thanks for the reply that makes a lot of sense . I feel like the only Africans in the region before the Bantu were the shorter type later displaced by the Bantu migration.
I am fascinated with your stories. Bravo! I came From Nothing and HomeBoy???

@chrissystewart6268 May I suggest a book: MEMORIES OF MADAGASCAR AND SLAVERY IN THE BLACK ATLANTIC by Dr. Wendy Wilson Fall, a Black American who discovered much of her family was in fact Malagasy and had research the Malagasy connection to the Americas. She was the first to do such a book and others (like myself) have followed through.
Sorry for your loss
Thanks Paradyne.
Europeans claim they found the Islands of La Reunion and Mauritius were not peopled. Which is wrong. Some Malagasy tribes and royalty lived there. Evidence of ancient traditions and sacred places are found there about it.
Thank you
If I had a time machine, I'd tell my ancestors to sail just a bit further into East Africa and mine them sweet minerals.
There are look like Ethiopian and somali Cushitc family
They are of austronesian language and people thet are related to filipinos and Indonesia and micronesia and melanesia and Polynesia the austronesian the lapita people were from the Philippines islands mata eye lima five it is universal to all austronesian people
Your right my mother is ancestery is bit confusing I always asked her and she told me yesterday that her father was mixed cultured her father was mixed person he is part Austronesian and malagasy he is east asian Samoa fiji he was treated wrong by his step kids cause his step kids were Africans they never show respect to him because he was lighter skinned person not just Polynesian and he may been mixed with white but he was just mixed I never got to meet him and his biological kids mixed like him theyre mother is Welsh I wish I could meet my aunts and uncle
Intriguing but I'd lean towards that earlier radiocarbon evidence being either mistaken or from temporary migrants. The most likely to me still seems like it would be Austroneasians travelling from Indonesia to Madagascar, establishing a base, and then quite quickly (less than 50 years) continuing on to the East African coast and thence sparking a large migration from there. I should note that Bantu languages didn't not yet exist in East Africa prior to about 2000 years ago.
That the Indian Ocean islands, other than Madagascar, were not settled when all Pacific Islands were would be explained by me as the winds not being favourable towards exploring Eastwards. In the Pacific journeys were made against the wind so that at any point the explorers could turn around and hurry home. In the Indian there is a vast stretch where island hopping isn't possible, so journeys Westward would most likely be one way affairs. Those who made it to Madagascar probably couldn't return (a similar thing might have happened with New Zealand as the Maori quickly lost their ocean-going skills and New Zealand was settled from islands distantly to the East). Without being able to return there would not be any news going back to Indonesia encouraging more exploration.
This is for sure a tricky problem to think about though, more data of all types (genetic, linguistic, archaeological) would definitely help!
Thank you for your comment, it was a very interesting read. Although I still agree with what I researched you make some interesting points and also I really appreciate that you are polite. A lot of times when people disagree with my research they get needlessly mean. So I'm very happy that you were polite and that you explain your reasons for disagreeing. I hadn't really thought about the wind direction stuff that you mentioned, that was neat to learn. By the way, I also have a video about the art of Madagascar, if you have time, I'd be curious to hear what you have to say about that video as well.
@@redspiritmask Some extra points, after listening again: radiocarbon dating is error prone, but the people who do it do know this of course so they would take lots of measurements to be sure, however I think you said this was a meta-study which would mean that the person making the claim didn't do the dating themselves.
If the animals have Bantu names then almost certainly the Austronesians didn't bring those animals but adopted the Bantu names when the animals arrived from mainland Africa.
I don't remember if I checked the wave and wind patterns when I wrote that first comment so I could be barking up the wrong banana tree with that, although, from memory that mystery plane crash had wreckage wash up on the east coast at about that latitude so probably not.
It wouldn't surprise me if there was a simultaneous colonisation, Madagascar is a big place, but for the light skin Austronesians to come to dominate the social hierarchy...I find it unlikely they could do that with the Bantu being long established there first. The temporary visit idea is floated, I guess it's possible but I struggle to think of any other piece of uninhabited land of such size that was passed over for settlement.
Yes from what I recall they were not doing the dating themselves, they were looking at a culmination of data that had been collected over the years.
And yes I recall in my reading that academics came to that same conclusion about the Bantu peoples bringing the animals with them to the island. Specifically I think that was mentioned in the book I referenced.
Well I'm sure there's still more to discover about the story of the settlement of the island and hopefully we'll continue to learn more as scientists continue to do more archeological digs.
Here's another possibility, keep in mind the following statement is just my own opinion, perhaps instead of it being a temporary settlement the first initial African settlement may have instead been a very small population from Africa and perhaps that's why the Austronesian language element are more dominate but yeah I'm just making a random guess here.
However since the academics do bring up the possibility of temporary settlement, it should be noted that temporary settlements have happened elsewhere in history. An example I can think of is in the ninth century A.D., the Maya abandoned the great city of Tikal, I think the reason is still a mystery but it may have been related to bad weather like droughts. And a similar drought event could maybe have led to early African settlers leaving the island.

How.. I'm African American and my father's mother has large traces from Mozambique and Madagascar... slavery
@@XxxclusiveReviews Its not often told, but many black americans are not only descended from West Africa, but central and east africa too
8:36 - what's largely agreed on is that Indonesians came 2 Madagascar between 1500 n 2000 yrs. ago. (So approx. a few decades aftr the beginning of the AD period to 500 AD period).
I'm born here in America my tribe is Sakalava
Nice, the Sakalava people produce a lot of the islands best artworks.
That site is confusing ustronesians for polynesians. Austronesians from se asia travelled to plynesia and madagascar. In madahascar they intermixed with bantus, in polynesia they intermixed with melanesians hence current polynesians
Came here to understand how did Madagascar became within the sphere of influence of the Malayo-Polynesian
So the austronesian found madagascar around the same time maori people discovered new zealand.
They didn't, it was already inhabited by East Africans
@@lawtraf8008 don't spread false information. What is your point to do that. If you don't know the truth better to shut your mouth. Yes indeed indonesian was the first people discovered madagascar.
I still find the trend to assume Bantu as DNA or genetic group but it should be noted that Bantu Language Group that influenced most parts of Africa. Some Bantu speakers are not from West Africa nor related to them DNA wise. I believe that there could be few African in the Island because it’s hard not to, it being very close to African Mainland and Indonesia and India trade plus Chinese that existed for centuries then sparked more migration to the island. Thanks for the video, I had many questions and you answered most of them
I'm glad my research was able to answer many of your questions. Sorry for the late reply, for some odd reason UA-cam hasn't been notifying me about comments lately.
Hawaiians were Black! So were the Indigenous Pacific Islanders! So were the first South, Central and North Americans! Blacks were in the USA and all continents before Asian/Mongoloid Indians and Christopher Columbus, who never made it to North America!
Blacks are the Aboriginals and Indigenous Natives of the Americas (North, South, Central), Caribbean Islands, including Hispaniola and the Amazon!
Our history has been fabricated by whites and others to steal our lands while lying about our arrival from Africa!!!
My family is from good old Virginia USA, and we were here before Columbus and before the Mongolian/Asian Indians, and before the $5 pale Indians! We are the first American family of Virginia... the Powhatan Indian Tribe!
Slavery was taught in reverse order! Yes, some Africans/Blacks were brought back here to America from North, Central and South America.
Aboriginal Black Indigenous Americans were the original Aztec, Maya, and Olmec Indians!
Never forget we populated ALL seven continents first and are Indigenous people of the world!

This so called research by foreign researchers is amazing . Does the claim that the Malagasy are of Indonesian descent continue? This research is now one of them. Two things I offer you are your turn to think. First: The creation of a sentence in Malagasy is as follows: Verbe + Complement + sujet. But in Indonesian it is Sujet + Verbe + complement. Second: The King of Indonesia even told President Zafy Albert that the Malagasy are not Indonesians but descendants of the "gola" and came to Indonesia. The word Gola advises you foreign researchers to know the meaning of the word. . But the ancestors of the ancient Malagasy had a strong kingdom, but it was during this period that he was a captive that caused him to leave his homeland. We, the Sons of the Ancient Nobles and many of the Malagasy people, know our true origin, the Malagasy people. We are sad to see foreign researchers who don’t even know our story but probably do every time they speak.
So may we know where is this Gola you are mentioning on the map, please. Thanks!
Is that word "gola" related to the one I am so used to hearing "fahagola"?
OK! The word gola is an ancient Hebrew word and is also referred to today in Malagasy. Gola are an era of reference to the time of captivity. This means that when the sons of Israel were taken captive to Assyrie. Many Assyrian words are also preserved in Malagasy, not just Hebrew as "Salama" which is not sick. "sourit" and "sourat" are the Assyrian words meaning "Route"and "Scriptur"
Your ancestor from South east Asia,and dna test never lied
@@MegaRanjee "fahagola" means "antiquity". At first, I thought about ANGOLA (the country), but "angola" in Malagasy (pronounced, "AAN-GUUL(A)) is a special form of singing (in BaGasy/Kalon' ny Fahiny). Just a tidbit from a scholar who went there and continues to study after 25 years...AND BTW, I AM an Afro-American scholar who has studied BOTH the cultures of Africa and the Indo-Pacific areas..

By DNA Trace, yes they come from an island in Indonesia, "Borneo" by study. The name of Madagascar actually european inveted term, Actual name "Malagasikara", refer to the people live in there, Malagasy People.
Etymology, the name of Malagasikara, seem derived from Malay & Javan, "Malay Sekar" / "Malaka Sekar" (Malay Flower Bloom, Malaga = Malay/Malacca, Sekar = Blooming Flower). Sekar have many meaning in Indonesian Family language, which can mean "Dry", "Flower", "Blooming", "Sowing Seed", we can assume the meaning as "New Flower to be Bloom".
I Assume, When arrive on the Island, They found the island to be Fertile and Wide. They make outpost there to planting several Canoe Plant for their supply in the Futures, and renamed the Island as "New Flower", some people stay, some people are back to homeland. In my region there is a myth, about seafarers wish they came back to an island to harvest what they sow (Menyekar) in there.
also, the name of their King back then, Andrianjaka.
Andri is common names in indonesia, by malay people.
Jaka is common names in indonesia, by java people.
They may name it madagascar as you describe the meaning of new flower bloom but in reality madagascar was the Eden Garden field with whom Adam and Eve came first in the world. It was a garden full of flowers, trees and resources that's why they called it madagascar.
