Specifically, the study found that paternal lineages (Y-chromosome) predominantly trace back to African ancestry, while maternal lineages (mitochondrial DNA) primarily originated from Southeast Asia. This suggests a dual origin for the Malagasy people, with early settlers from both Africa and Southeast Asia contributing to their genetic heritage. This finding is supported by numerous studies, including research published by PNAS, which highlights the admixed nature of the Malagasy population. The Y-chromosome data indicates a strong presence of African lineages, while the mitochondrial DNA analysis reveals a significant contribution from Southeast Asia, particularly Island Southeast Asia. This suggests a scenario where early male migrants from Africa encountered and mixed with female migrants from Southeast Asia, leading to the unique genetic profile of the Malagasy people.
He's right you guys are just retarded. Most of their ancestry is African.
