Dingoes and closely resemble dogs, but full domestication of the dingo has proved difficult. "As a pet it is generally more independent-minded than other dogs," the researchers wrote.
Dingo remains date back about 3,500 years and no dingoes were found on Tasmania, which separated from the rest of Australia about 12,000 years ago, the researchers noted.
And there is no way for a large animal to have reached Australia from anywhere else without help from people, they added.
"The dingo ancestors were therefore most probably introduced to Australia with the aid of humans traveling in boats," they wrote.
