Human Biology Madagascar look Filipino?

Actually the Merina are around 70-75% Mongoloid (Austronesian) and 25-30% Negroid (Bantu) on average. They are the most Asiatic of all Malagasy tribes. 

Least Asian Malagasies are Coastal groups like Sakalava and Mahafaly. I have seen some Malagasy DNA who is up to 75% African, which is one of the highest I even seen among the Malagasy.

The Merina people (also known as the Imerina, Antimerina or Hova) are the largest ethnic group in Madagascar.^[3][4] They are the "highlander" Malagasy ethnic group of the African island and one of the country's eighteen official ethnic groups.^[5][6] Their origins are mixed, predominantly with Austronesians arriving before the 5th century AD, then many centuries later^[when?] with Arabs, Africans and other ethnic groups.^[7] They speak the Merina dialect of the official Malagasy language of Madagascar.^[7]

Thanks, @Dyno also posted that East African people and African Americans with East African ancestry have Austronesian DNA. 

I'll still be researching the science behind the claims.

Mostly just 1% on average
