Dingoes are believed to have been introduced into Australia by Aboriginal peoples between 4,600 and 18,300 thousand years ago and may have come from ancient domestic dogs in East Asia. The dingo's status as a native or introduced species in Australia has been a controversy. According to Miike Letnic of the University of New South Wales, the dingo, as Australia's top predator, has an important role in maintaining the balance of nature. Where dingoes had been excluded by the fence dingo fence, Letnic found reduced biodiversity, with fewer native mammals. Wikipedia.
