So that would mean they took 6,000 to colonise all of Australia as there is no trace of them in southern Australia where there is a good fossil record. Cats and foxes took less than 100 years to colonise Australia. Are you sure you don’t want to reconsider your estimates?

There is no evidence of dingoes in Australia prior to 4,000 years. So that first point is still not valid. Find a 10,000 year old dingo in Australia and you will convince me. Until then, it’s not supported by science.

The 8,000-10,000 years is still no sense. Genetics dating has to be calibrated with fossils otherwise it’s complete fabrication as gene do not evolve at a constant rate.
