➤ Origins & Domestication
Domesticated pigs descended from wild boar populations in multiple regions, including parts of Europe and Asia. Archaeological evidence indicates pig domestication occurred independently in different areas beginning around 9,000 years ago. Over time, selective breeding produced a wide variety of pig breeds adapted to local climates and agricultural needs. Encyclopaedia Britannica
