Why did it take so long for humans to get to Madagascar? Even Australia was reached much sooner, and that’s so much farther away and separated by wider oceans.

Apparently Madagascar was discovered before this picture says, potentially as early as 8500 BCE. The date there is for unambiguous continued human presence, that starts at 490 CE.
