‘the most recent common ancestor of the five samples studied lived at least 70,000 years ago, long before humans arrived. Instead, he said, the wolves must have floated over on vegetation or ice floes.’

Lol. Floats and ice floes ping.

Maybe Homo Erectus humans took them there by boat, eh?

How deep is the water between the Falklands and the mainland? Since ocean water levels were hundreds of feet lower maybe they walked over during an ice age.

Nahhh, it just jumped the Ark.

Dr. Slater said the research showed that the maned wolf and the Falklands wolf last had a common ancestor six million years ago. “But canids didn’t show up in South America until two and a half million years ago,” he said, after the isthmus of Panama was formed.

Ok, how about this. 6 million years ago, common ancestor wolf was in North America, migrated south to South American and the Falklands and then evolved into the present day Falklands wolf. Then two and half million years ago, the NA common ancestor evolved into the present day SA canids and came down and eliminated the common ancestor except for the falkland wolf that was protected by the sea.

Problem solved.
