Apparently Dingoes Come From China

You can learn a lot if you spend a few weeks down under. Like, did you know that the eponymous Aussie Dingoe originally got to Oz from China? I didn’t….but I must admit I’d never really spent any serious time pondering the origins of the Dingoe. It’s an imprecise science too – according to Aussie scientists Dingoes arrived some time between 4,600 and 18,300 years ago; a pretty wide spread to choose from there! It seems that some dingoes came straight to Australia while others took a more leisurely route via PNG and Polynesia.

This could all get horribly political too. The previous theory was that Dingoes had come to Australia from either the Philippines or, wait for it, Taiwan!! Now it seems the Taiwan theory is blown out of the water and Dingoes are mainlanders!!

Here’s the whole story from The Australian paper.
