These studies provide evidence that people first arrived about two millennia ago. The plants they brought to Madagascar are predominantly south Asian in origin, including coconut, banana, rice, and hemp, pointing to their probable Indonesian origins. Later plant additions, such as castor bean, came from Africa and reflect a second wave of human migration. The subsequent development of indigenous agriculture was affected by the limitations of climate and soils, and also by the effects of ecological changes that were largely anthropogenic. Additional information on these remote times can be gleaned from early literature, especially Mediterranean and Islamic references. These types of multidisciplinary investigations, aimed at recovering additional early cultural and ecological elements, can have the positive effect of developing stronger ties between ecology and culture in Madagascar, perhaps helping to heal the unfortunate rift between conservation and the social sciences currently so evident there.Item Potential Importance of Sociological Tourism for Madagascar’s Protected Areas and Those Who Live Around Them(University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2005) Birkinshaw, ChrisItem Ny Tao-Trano Sy Fiatraikany Eo Amin’Ny Alan’ Analalava(University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2005) Rakotomalaza, Pierre Jules (Coca); Henry, John; Robin; Sabotsilahy, Bruno; Jean ClaudeItem Ny Fampiasan’ny Mponina Ny Zavamaniry Azo Atao Sakafo(University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2005) Velosoa, JulietteItem Valim-Pikarohana Momba Ny Fampiasana Tany Sy Sokajin’ala Amin’ny Fokontany Morarano Mahavelona(University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2005) Lehavana, Adolphe; Toto, Eric; Razaka, Rémi Amosa; Toto, Gaston; John, Henri; Tabita, Marie Odette; Soazafy, Céléstine; Dimasy, Justin; Razaka, Emmanuel; Rasoa; JaquelineItem Ny Karazana Aretina Mpahazo Ny Olon-Dehibe Sy Ny Tanora Ao Amin’Ny Tananan’Ny Sahamamy Kaominina Mahavelona Toamasina II(University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2005) Rabarison, Harison; Ramanitrahasimbola, DavidItem Fahasalaman’Ny Zaza Sy Ny Fampiasana Zavamaniry Mahasitrana Ao Amin’Ny Tananan’Ny Sahamamy, Mahevelona, Toamasina(University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2005) Razafindrabeaza, Thierry; Rabeson, Pascal; Coco; Sabotsilahy, Bruno; Torine, Zaza; Jean Claude; Bany; Jaqueline; Angeline; Clément; Jeannette; Donah; JustinItem Asa-Tanana Sy Tao-Zavatra(University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2005) Randrianaivo, RichardItem Zavamaniry Famantaran-Javatra Ao Amin’Ny FKT Morarano-Mahavelona(University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2005) Rakotonandrasana, Stéphan Richard
