I fucking love learning

#did u kno that Madagascar was first inhabited by Austronesian people via the Indian Ocean? and only joined by Bantu travellers later on #idk it’s fascinating. I always assumed the island was just inhabited by people who had come from mainland Africa. the island also apparently #was connected to the Indian subcontinent for longer than it was to the African continental plates so perhaps it was farther east? easier to #get to from over in Indonesia I guess? ancient human history is so fucking cool I want a goddamn Time Machine and a vaccine for everything
