saone*looks at subject* Yeah, that just doesn't have the same ring to it.
"The Australian dingo descends from domesticated dogs that people from Southeast Asia brought with them to Australia some 5,000 years ago. Genetic studies indicate that it is probably a matter of a single occasion and a very small number of dogs."

Well, that argument is hotly debated over here. I personally think that the Aboriginal people brought them over about 60,000 years ago, and they're actually descended from the Dhole.
Unfortunately, Dingoes are on the verge of extinction over here- they're interbreeding with feral domestic dogs and the Dingo part of them is in danger of being bred out within a decade.... Not many people care, because Farmers hate the poor things...
Gav!
