  1. The Aboriginals brought them to Australia as pets on their boats when they settled Australia from South East Asia.


  2. The dingo arrived in Australia about 4,000 years ago, that's 40,000 years at least after the first Indigenous Australians.  BTW Indigenous Australians are believed to have arrived while Australia was still joined to southern Asian landmass, so they walked here, didn't come by boat.

    It's thought that the dingo came aboard ships that trawled the northern coastal waters of Australia, from what we now know as Indonesia.

  3. Indigenous Australia

    Archaeological evidence shows that Aboriginal people came to Australia at least 50,000 years ago.

    The Carpentarians are thought to have been the last to arrive 5000 years ago.

    They bought the dingo to Australia.

  4. no the dingo did not evolve there. It is thought that they came with the first humans who settled in Australia, a .long time ago. Since then, the ecosystem has adapted to work with them

  5. General consensus is that the Dingo followed the indigenous people of Australia across the land bridge that used to lay between the Australian mainland and Asia.

    DNA testing has shown that the Dingo is descendant from the Asiatic Wolf; and they've only been here for about 3,500 years (by all estimates).
