Dingo Origins

The dingo came from East Asia via Melanesia.
the new study, published in Nature Scientific Reports, uses sophisticated 3D scanning and geometric morphometrics on ancient dingo specimens to show clearly that they are most similar to Japanese dogs, as well as the 'singing dogs' of New Guinea and the highland wild dog of Irian Jaya.
The remains studied were over 3,000 years old.
