The Madagascans have a complex origins: before the African, Arab and European contributions, twenty-five centuries ago Madagascar received its first inhabitants, Austronesians. Subsequently, Indonesian (Malacca) and Bantu immigrants from sub-equatorial Africa integrated with the Proto Malagasy. The spread of a small population over this vast area led to the formation of demographic isolates that were wrongly equated with \u2018tribes\u2019.<\/p><p>Initially, it was believed that the Vazimba were the first inhabitants of the island and that they originated from Africa. They would have come via the west coast, carrying a composite Indonesian and African culture. However, in his \u2018Relation de Java\u2019 (1645), the Dutch navigator Van der Steel (quoted by the Malagasy historian Edouard Ralaimihoatra) speaks of a Javanese race called Vazimba that dispersed across the Indian Ocean. There are also reports of a Bazimba tribe on the shores of Lake Kivu in Africa. All you need to know about Madagascar? <\/p><p>Moreover, according to the Arab historian and geographer Idrissa, until XII<sup>Th<\/sup>\u00a0century, there was no primitive African immigration, as the Africans had not yet mastered the art of navigation; only the Arabs with their dhows and the Indonesians with their outrigger canoes were able to link Africa and the Big Island.<\/p><p>The current population, which is growing rapidly, is estimated at 25 million. However, the population remains very unevenly distributed, with the Highlands and the east coast having the highest densities, while the west, where densities of less than 5 inhabitants per square kilometre are common, remains empty outside the development zones (large conurbations or rice-growing areas).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-950616513\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-950616513\" data-tab-index=\"3\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 3;\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b7078ce e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"b7078ce\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d455f9e e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"d455f9e\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5b961a7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5b961a7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>All you need to know about Madagascar.
