Origins of the People of Madagascar - African and Asian Heritage and History

- Learn about the mysterious history of the people of Madagascar. The great island of Madagascar is home to the Malagasy people whose heritage is both from Africa and Asia. Not only does this video explain the African and Asian origins of the people but it looks into scientific data about genetics of the peoples which show that the people of Madagascar also have DNA in common with the peoples of Polynesia. Showing that the non-African side of their heritage is perhaps more complicated than what was previously thought. Besides all that we talk about how specifically the African aspect of the Malagasy history comes from the part of Africa north of the Zambezi River and how the Asian part of the Malagasy comes from Indonesia; specifically the Indonesian island of Borneo. Additionally we look at the languages of the island and how it's part of Malayo-Polynesian structure of languages. Which gets its name from the Malay Archipelago and the islands of Polynesia.
The exact time of settlement of the island is also discussed in this video. Traditionally dates of 1500 years ago to 2000 years ago are typically given for the first human arrival but new research shows that the first humans arrived in Madagascar 11000 years ago.
Culture is also a part of the video. During most of the video you will get to see historical drawings of the island, its architecture, fashion and its culture. Madagascar is unlike anywhere in the world, from epic landscapes to its incredible wildlife. But the people are rarely talked about. I hope this video helps more viewers begin to learn about the extraordinary and beautiful cultures of Madagascar.

Many other sources of information were referenced for this video as well.
Their language is specifically related to the language of my tribe here on the island of borneo Indonesia, it's crazy to think how could my ancestor get there, I mean it's like other side of the world
Yep, you got some brave and amazing ancestors. 😁
No bullshit, but we might be related bro!
Its because we invented Outrigger and double hull (Catamaran) oceanfaring brother. The idea that we drifted off and accidentally found stuff is so colonial and eurocentric. Our ancestors were already expert navigators when Europe was still in the dark. Its almost insulting. Greets from Maluku Alifuru
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. 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.

Rest in Peace Dylan , Thank you for the lovely video and your channel
Thank you for your kind words!
A Portuguese account described how the Javanese people already had advanced seafaring skills and had communicated with Madagascar in 1645
The Javanese are all men very experienced in the art of navigation, to the point that they claim to be the most ancient of all, although many others give this honor to the Chinese, and affirm that this art was handed on from them to the Javanese. But it is certain that they formerly navigated to the Cape of Good Hope and were in communication with the east coast of the island of São Lourenço (San Laurenzo - Madagascar), where there are many brown and Javanese-like natives who say they are descended from them.

🇮🇩: Now that we have entered Madagascar there we have opened an embassy, and together with Malaysia we have provided scholarships for students who want to study here, Sorry if we can't be of much help but we've tried. and you need to know that another name for Madagascar according to Indonesians is TANJUNG HARAPAN ( cape of good hope)
indonesian embassy have been in madagascar since long time ago not recently.
Of course the Bible says Asia is the land of Ophir only the ones that are blessed with the knowledge knows who you guys that’s Southeast Asia to be accurate.
An interesting line of inquiry regarding Madagascar is where did the cultural and artistic traditions come from. The face painting, statuaries and dance would connect them to Borneo or East Africa.
Thank you for sharing ,i am Malagasy and I'm proud to be
So ur Asian? At least in origin?
did you watch the video?
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..
Hello, your ancestor's strory is trully intersting. Would you mind sharing some reference information to me? (News papers or article, etc.)
Hi there,
I am from Madagascar and I am curious to know the name of that historian that you're stating and maybe any books that he might have written for m'y on.culture. Thanks

I read that Madagascar separated from Africa 160 million years ago, and it separated from India 80 million years ago. That's an interesting twist because I assumed it separated from Africa last.

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.
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 CZcams recommend it to you?
I am fascinated with your stories. Bravo! I came From Nothing and HomeBoy???
Thanks for coming! Glad you enjoy my stories!
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
I have Austronesian blood I look more Austronesian than I do West African I think that's why Black Americans treat me different.
If they treat you different it’s more of you not being born in the USA .

Thanks Paradyne.
Where did you find a copy of the first book? Amazing video!
Thanks! The book Madagascar Island of the Ancestors I got on Amazon. The book that had all the drawings though is freely available online because its a very old book. I mostly used that old book for the imagery, whereas the book that I bought, I read the entire thing. Anyway, if you want to see the really old book I'll provide the link here:

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.
Malagasy people closest to Banjar Tribe in Borneo by DNA, but for the languange they close to Dayak Maanyan Tribe also in Borneo (45 %),..No Wonder, because Banjar Tribe consists of Dayak Maanyan and Malay people
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
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.
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.
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).
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.
Is Madagascar the potential location of the original Ravan Lanka?
what is ravan laka please?
their faces look like my family faces here in Indonesia ❤
OMG..😮 Madagascar people look like East indian 😲 (Odisha..jharkhnd) I also look like them....🥺
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 CZcams 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!
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!

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

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"

Its only logical that Melanesian Kanaka were the first to arrive to Madagascar.
Its all documented in Holländisch.
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.

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.

You cant pretend that French europeans havent had a genetic impact on the people. Ive been and seen so many people with european features
The original Malagasy people are Bantu people from East Africa originated from Pokomo, Mijikenda, and WaSwahili.
Cool. If you know of an academic source that talks about that, you can send me the link and when I have time I'll try to read it.
@@redspiritmask ok
@@reinsonkibisu2056 so why langauge and architecture are similar to borneo and sumatra, rice/paddy and ship style are similar to malay archipeago region. not swahili or omani arabs coast colony of east africa
@@safuwanfauzi5014 are Malagasy not coastal Bantu like Waswahili, Pokomo, Mijikenda, or Comorian, or it’s mostly Malay because before Malay people were African and it’s technically in Africa or people don’t see themselves as African like some Horn Africans

The Real malagasy came from Indonesia.
Then they mixed with Bantu people and another races.

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!
@@d.d.s.g.l9945 Then every Continent is part of it!!!!
It is forced to be part but in real it isnt.
@@Angel-vv9xo yeah! Your right even some have very straigth hair.
Merina does have straigth hair or curly.
But Cotier have Afro hair.
