Personalities in female domesticated pigs: behavioural and physiological indications [PDF]

The Origin of the Domestic Pig: Independent Domestication and Subsequent Introgression [PDF]

Genetics, 2000
Abstract The domestic pig originates from the Eurasian wild boar (Sus scrofa). We have sequenced mitochondrial DNA and nuclear genes from wild and domestic pigs from Asia and Europe. Clear evidence was obtained for domestication to have occurred independently from wild boar subspecies in Europe and Asia.
