[quote=CHETWYND,39236]Hi Jabarootoo, I feel that it is quite possible that Zheng He's sailors did sail to most parts of the world. The vessels were certainly seaworthy enough, and there is no reason to doubt that the men who sailed on them were great seamen. Try to get a copy of the book, it is worth the effort. Also, current DNA sampling across the pacific seems to suggest that the Maori people of NZ were a mix of Taiwanese, Indonesian and Philippino. Apparently the movement started in Taiwan? However I have not done much research on that so its just hearsay. As to the dingo..if you go to www.iprimus.com.au/readman/dingo you will see that one of the two theories for the dingo's arrival in Australia says that the dingo "may have been related to the semi wild dogs found throughout SE Asia and brought to Australia by seafarers for trade and/or eating."
