Zooarcheological evidence suggests that pigs were domesticated in Southwest Asia ∼8,500 BC. They then spread across the Middle and Near East and westward into Europe alongside early agriculturalists. European pigs were either domesticated independent... Read More about Pig domestication and human-mediated dispersal in western Eurasia revealed through ancient DNA and geometric morphometrics.
