 | | Dingo remains from 5,000 to 2,500 years old have been found in other parts of South-east Asia, and the earliest record of Dingos in Australia is 3,500 years old. |
 | | A study of dingo mitochondrial DNA published in 2004 places their arrival at around 4000 BC, and suggests that only one small group may be the ancestors of all modern dingos. |
 | | The full extent of the ecological change brought about by the introduction of the Dingo remains unknown, but there is little doubt that it was responsible for a series of extinctions, notably of marsupial carnivores, including the last remaining large predator, the Thylacine. |
