It goes back faRther than that. Dogs eyes evolved to see human eyes when humans and dogs teamed up to defeat neanderthals.
“We finally know ...”
That would be great if science were always right and never had to update their theories. Newton wasn’t entirely correct. Einstein wasn’t entirely correct. That’s the nature of Science. You always learn more, and you always realize that don’t know what you thought you knew.
But in the modern world of grant funded research, it’s important to always be able to say, “We finally know ...”
We know masks work.
We know masks don’t work.
We know eggs are good for you.
We know eggs are bad for you.
Coffee is good.
Coffee is bad.
And here is where dingoes sit on the evolutionary tree. It is known.
Plenty of references to insights derived or derrivable from this study/investigation, but they are all apparently just a tease. [likely for continuing funding...]
Sure, as a PhD / grad student project, this would be a very appropriate pursuit, proving mastery of the subject and advancing a part of it [most PhD theses are not terribly revelatory].
But almost assuredly the gov. spent $million$ upon $millions$ to place the dingo falls in the canine evolutionary spectrum. So long as the ‘study’ also scolds us plebes how ‘global warming’ is causing their extinction.
But they missed the biggest stat: what gender is the Dingo? When did it decide? How dare you assign it a biological sex! And how white people are the problem [with what? doesn’t matter]
That’s where the $$$$$$$ needs to be spent.
The dingo ate yo baby.
AGREED!
For me, any/every such paper should have "... thus this current research suggests, based upon accepted data and modalities, that ..."! It should then be turned over to 8th grade children for synopsizing for the contemporary Press. At least I do not remember having a dogmatic opinion on anything at age 13-14 other than not upsetting my parents! Cannot say anything similar about the idiot media!
I figure dingoes are a mix between kangaroos and dachshunds, because the latter will cross with anything.
Any 5 year old will you a Dingo is a dog and nothing more...
Let’s stick to things we can actually prove...
If it can cross breed with a dog and the offspring aren’t sterile, doesn’t that make it....a dog?

That dingo ate my baby 🤪
In his defense, I may have forgotten some/much in the decades that separate me from that age. Equally, neither of my parents are around (sadly) to remind me of my sins!
Allah be praised, now I can sleep again.
Fodder for at least one of your lists
