What would have happened if Madagascar would have not been populated by Indic-Pacific people and it would have been remained unpopulated until the French arrived there by the mid-17th century?
Would they build a predominant-white society (maybe an Huguenot country-refuge) or it would have developed as a big Mauritius? How would have coped the French with some megafauna that vanished there because of the previous human activity but would still stay there if the island remained untouched by humans?
Maybe we sill have today farms of elephant birds in the same fashion of ostrich ones
