Ancient dingo DNA shows modern dingoes share little ancestry with modern dog breeds
Dingoes arrived in Australia more than 3,000 years ago. Now a new study has compared DNA from fossilized dingo remains dating back 2,746 years with DNA from modern dingoes. The work finds that K'gari dingoes have no domestic dog ancestry—they are pure dingo.
Modern-day dingoes' ancestors arrived in Australia more than 3,000 years ago, most likely transported by seafaring people .
